And he did it when most pitches were like ploughed fields, defenders trying to kick you into next week, footballs that once wet were as heavy as medicine balls.

Ian Rush the only Pool player on there. Surprising.

Yeah kenny was at celtic for a long time. Roger hunt spent time with them in the second division. Other than that fowler and gerrard didn't get that many goals.

Levy vindicated! 150 mil it is or Emirates Marketing Project can't beat us.

Fantastic performance for sure.
That service up to Kane is vital though. We know he has that quality on the ball. Even in games where he's been a lot less impactful than the City games he shows that when he's occasionally given good passes.
Against City we seemed to find him, not with a clearance in his general direction to fight a tough battle with a CB, but passes to him that gives him a chance to do his thing. Not hopeful crosses aimed in his general vicinity, but quality service for him to attack.
Other games will be very different to this one. The requirements from him and the others will be different. But if we can keep playing well deeper and give him the right passes he will deliver.

Big difference was options and space
Options with players running off him
Space because he didn’t have a player from his own side running from the right to the middle to clog up that area
Also helped city’s defence are scared of Kane and drop off him
Spur of the moment
Frederic Kanoute
Whenever Kane plays up top, teams will always pin one or more defenders on him who's job it is to get to a pass first. Even when the pass is pinpoint, defenders will be focused on anticipating the pass and sprinting out ahead of him to snuff out any chance of him getting to it.
Because City spent so much time camped in our half, Kane had that much more space than usual and there is no one better at exploiting the opportunity to put Son away. Was the same a couple of seasons back when we beat United 6-1 at OT and again against Southampton when they played that ridiculous high line that enabled us to win 5-2. But such situations have arisen very rarely since. Teams are now wise to the Kane-Son axis so it would be folly for us to expect it to happen again anytime soon.
Normal service will resume against Burnley for sure.

Expecting it to happen against Leeds

They key (imo) is what is normal service in those Burnley circumstances with Romero and Dier back plus one or even both of Bentancur and Kulusevski starting to integrate.
It's an area where we're surely looking to improve, but will we have taken noticeable steps at this point?

Cottee’s got the Lowest goals per games ratio in that list though, a goal every 2.5 games whereas Kane’s has slipped this season to every 1.5 games. Still definitely impressive he’s on it all the same.
Just reading about Steve Bloomer. He was managing in Germany when ww1 broke out. He became a prisoner of war alongside other brithish players that were out there.
In their prison camp they started football games with up to 1000 attendences from other prisoners. They used english team names.
In november 1914, Bloomer captained a Tottenham Hotspur XI that beat an Oldham Athletic XI in the cup final.

Excellently taken goal against Leeds, let alone the Hoddlesque pass to Son near the end for the fourth. Shows how his crown has slipped with some fans that his thread makes it way onto page 2.
