The leading contributor to Tottenham’s victory was the Sonke duo. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Kane succeeded in a penalty kick opportunity created by Son Heung-min and scored the first goal, and 11 minutes later, Son Heung-min was fouled by Rob Holding and sent off.
Tottenham Hotspur, who had a numerical advantage, continued the onslaught. In the 37th minute of the first half, Kane shook Arsenal’s net with a diving header, which Rodrigo Bentancour gave him a chance from a corner kick.
In the second half, the Sonke duo continued their activities. In the first minute of the second half, Kane created a chance near Arsenal’s goal, and Son Heung-min calmly handled the ball that came out during the match and scored the team’s third goal.
Kane scored multiple goals in this match, leaving a significant record against ‘derby rivals’ Arsenal. Before the match, Wayne Rooney was Arsenal’s most goalscorer in the Premier League with 12 goals, but Kane broke the record with 13.
Kane, who scored his first goal against Arsenal in the 2014-15 season, continued his record by scoring at least one goal each season. Last September, he was sluggish with a goalless goal against Arsenal, but he scored two goals in this match and set a new record.
