Trending
Gameweek 20 ranking – 9th
Match performance – a terrific hat-trick and could have had more
It is fair to say all the critics of Harry Kane who expected him to be a one or two-season wonder have been silenced and everyone can admit now that he is one of the best and most consistent strikers in the Premier League at the moment. Against West Brom, Kane scored his third ever hat-trick for Tottenham equalling the club record held by Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe.
He scored the first by scooping a Christian Eriksen pass onto the post and into the goal in the first-half. He picked up his second via a fine finish from Kyle Walker’s superb delivery from the right wing. He rounded off the hat-trick from Dele Alli’s dinked ball inside the box. Kane jumps to 5th from 9th due to the performance and the reality was that he could have had at least a couple more if not for West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster’s outstanding reflexes.
Fantasy Stat – Harry Kane has scored 8 goals in the last 8 gameweeks, more than any other player in the Premier League.
#4 Dele Alli
Gameweek 20 ranking – 4th
Match performance – one dinked assist and one disallowed goal
Dele Alli’s streak of 3 consecutive braces ended against West Brom as he failed to get on the scoresheet. He did, however, execute a fine finish from a Christian Eriksen through ball only to be called offside. The England international didn’t go away empty-handed from the game, though, picking up a superb assist in the match.
He held the ball well inside the box and had the vision as well as the ability to lift the ball in such a small space for Harry Kane to score his hat-trick. His consistent performances still keep him at 4th place due to the consistent performances of the players above him.
Fantasy Stat – Dele Alli has been involved in 8 goals in the last 5 gameweeks.
