Harry Kane claimed two more assists as Tottenham beat West Ham United 3-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.

Both of Kane's assists set up Son Heung-min as their record-breaking partnership went from strength to strength.

Kane also set up Tottenham's first goal, but did not receive an official assist for that one as it was an own goal by West Ham defender Kurt Zouma.

No player has assisted more EPL goals than Kane since the start of last season.

Sunday's double saw Kane move up to joint-81st on the list of most Premier League assists ever.

His updated tally of 39 saw him climb above Manchester United duo Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have each assisted 38 goals in their Premier League careers.

Kane is joined on 39 assists by Dennis Wise, Morten Gamst Pedersen and Robbie Fowler.

Of the names above Kane on the list, only 17 are still active players in the Premier League.
