Harry Kane took pride in the "special" achievement
of retaining the Premier League Golden Boot after
scoring a second hat-trick this week in
Tottenham's 7-1 hammering of relegated Hull City.
Kane netted four as Spurs put Leicester City to the
sword 6-1 on Thursday and Mauricio Pochettino's
second-placed side underlined there was no
hangover associated with missing out on the title
to Chelsea as they ran riot at the KCOM Stadium.
The England striker's first two arrived inside 13
minutes and he completed his treble as a dispirited
Hull faded during the closing stages.
He amassed a haul of 29 goals in 30 Premier
League appearances despite two separate injury
absences, ensuring he finished ahead of Romelu
Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez at the top of the
standings.
"To win 7-1 away from home is a great end to a
great season for us," Kane told BBC Sport after
becoming the first player to retain the top-scorers'
gong since Robin van Persie in 2013.
"It's massive to win the Golden Boot again. I said
to retain it would be special with the injuries I've
had but to score 29 goals in 30 games is
something I feel proud of.
"Finishing the season with seven goals in two
games is perfect, hopefully I can continue it at the
start of next season. When you look at the players
behind us, we have a fantastic team.
"We are delighted with the way we finished."
