The one thing you can guarantee on Boxing Day in England, apart from leftover turkey, is Harry Kane scoring Premier League goals.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker has played on the traditional festive day four times and has hit the back of the net on each occasion.
Even when his side's Boxing Day match was rescheduled to two days later, as it was against Southampton in 2016/17, Kane was still on the scoresheet.
Kane on Boxing Day
Season | Opponent | Goals |
---|---|---|
2014/15 | Leicester | 1 |
2015/16 | Norwich | 2 |
2017/18 | Southampton | 3 |
2018/19 | AFC Bournemouth | 1 |
His seven goals on Boxing Day place Kane joint-fourth in the rankings for goals scored on this festive day.
If he scores a hat-trick at home to Brighton & Hove Albion, a feat he achieved two years ago against Southampton, Kane would go top of the Boxing Day goalscorers' list above Robbie Fowler, who leads the rankings with nine goals.
