Harry Kane scores his second with a sublime shot from the edge of the box

For Goal King Harry Kane has you in his deadly sights after taking his September booty to a mind-blowing 13 goals in eight games.

The Spurs killer has just overtaken Fernando Torres and Cristiano Ronaldo by netting his 85th and 86th Premier League goals just nine weeks after blowing out the 24 candles on his birthday cake.

Spurs’ boss Mauricio Pochettino believes Kane can only get better – and deadlier: “It makes him one of the best strikers in the world. Every player can improve. For me every player of 23 or 24, or 30 years old, always can improve and that’s our mentality.”

Add David Wagner’s Huddersfield to the growing list of admirers. The Terriers boss admitted: “If you create a chance for Harry Kane … goal!”

Town had let in only three goals in their first half dozen top-flight games but they hadn’t met an on-fire Kane.

Harry Kane fires Spurs ahead after nine minutes

Six years ago, on his previous visit to the stadium, he trudged off after only 77 minutes following the first and only sending off of his career.

He was only 17 at the time and on loan to League One Leyton Orient. How times change and September ends on a personal high: “It’s probably the best month I have had.”

Kane’s now a one-man wrecking ball – but he could have had four in the first half alone.

He fluffed one simple chance from only eight yards and had the ball in the net for a third time for what would have been his seventh hat-trick of 2017, only to see it chalked off for a marginal offside.

But there was no room for doubt about the brace that did count.

Latching on to a mistake by defender Chris Lowe, he was left one-on-one with Jonas Lossl who had kept four clean sheets in six starts. Goal.

Ben Davies made it 2-0

And his second also came out of nowhere as he turned two defenders at the edge of the box, shifted the ball on to his left foot and … ping, it was nestling in the far corner.

Welsh international Ben Davies seized on another Lowe blunder to chip over Lossl. And superman Kane was able to sit back on the bench and enjoy sub Moussa Sissoko adding a fourth in stoppage time.

There was only one blip for Spurs – a booking for Dele Alli for diving.
