Harry Kane becomes first player to score 10 headed goals in single Premier League campaign

Despite Tottenham's poor season the English striker has remained ruthless in front of goal and broke another record

Even if it might not be on par with being named the top scorer in Tottenham Hotspur Football Club's era.With his 10th headed goal of the Premier League season, Harry Kane gave Tottenham the lead against the Saints. He broke Duncan Ferguson's record of 9 headed goals in a single Premier League season.

While competing for Everton in the 1997–98 season, Big Dunc—as he was known affectionately and reverently—plundered his total, scoring just two league goals with his feet. Ferguson's feats featured the very first three goals in the history of the competition to be scored entirely with a player's head, a hat-trick against Bolton Wanderers in December 1997.

With 53 successful headers throughout the course of his entire Premier League career, Peter Crouch owns the record. However, the 6'7" England international's finest performance in a single season came in his sole Premier League campaign with Portsmouth in 2008–2009, when he scored seven goals.

Kane's career highest number of headed goals before to the current season was a meagre six (2017/18). However, when Tottenham recruited the set-piece instructor Gianni Vio last summer, the tireless striker's aerial game received a major boost.

The allegedly 4,830 loose ball procedures are kept by the former Unicredit banker, who also worked with the Italian side that defeated Kane's England in the Euro 2020 championship game. Four of Kane's nine headers this season came from Vio's set-piece creations, who are now working for the same team.

Kane's scoring prowess has shown to be sufficient to last beyond the Premier League era, as evidenced by the fact that he eclipsed Jimmy Greaves' 1960s goal total at Tottenham.

Kane has a ways to go until catching Dixie Dean in terms of headers in a season, though. The legendary Everton player scored 60 goals over the 1927–28 season, amassing an astounding total of 40 (forty) headers.
