Burnley supervisor Sean Dyche said Harry Kane changes Tottenham from a “good to a really good side” after the striker equalled Alan Shearer’s record for most Premier League objectives scored in a logbook year with a cap trap in a 3-0 triumph at Turf Moor.
Britain universal Kane got his 34th, 35th and 36th group objectives of 2017 to rise to Shearer’s 1995 check as Spurs climbed to fifth in the table.
“He is one of the best forwards in Europe,” said Dyche.
“He was by far the best player on the pitch and that was one of the best performances I have seen this season.”
Kane is currently the joint best scorer in the Premier League this season with 15 objectives from 19 diversions.
Dyche trusts it is the 24-year-old’s readiness to do “the terrible stuff” that separates him from different strikers.
“There are a lot of top players who can finish,” Dyche added. “He works. He is awkward. You can’t get a clean header against him. He is an absolutely top-class player.
“If you have a figurehead like that, every time the ball is turned over, he is on it like a shot. He can smell a chance as quick as any centre-forward I have seen.”
Kane has one more opportunity to break Shearer’s record, with Tottenham at home to out-of-frame Southampton on 26 December.
What’s more, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino trusts Kane can turn into a surprisingly better player than he as of now is.
“He can still improve,” he said. “Players arrive at their best at 27, 28, 29.
“It all depends how professional you are. If he keeps working hard every day in training and never changes that mentality, he can play until he wants.
“For me, he can still improve his game.”
Kane broke the gridlock at Turf Moor in the 6th moment, scoring from the spot after Spurs were granted a disputable punishment when Kevin Long was pronounced to have fouled Dele Alli.
Kane made it 2-0 halfway during that time half, dashing on to Moussa Sissoko’s go before sliding the ball past Burnley manager Nick Pope.
He finished his cap trap late on, tucking in a clinical complete at the far post.
The win moves Spurs to inside a state of fourth-set Liverpool, while Burnley drop to seventh.
Whatever occurs on Boxing Day, Kane can think back on 2017 as a mind boggling goalscoring year.
The Spurs frontman has scored 36 objectives in 35 Premier League matches to square with the record Shearer set in 1995. Just two players have verged on coordinating that accomplishment – Robin van Persie in 2011 and Thierry Henry in 2004.
Also, Kane could even complete the year as the best scorer in Europe’s main five associations.
He has gotten 53 objectives for club and nation in 2017, the same number of as Edinson Cavani (PSG), Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), and just a single behind Lionel Messi (Barcelona).
Kane is the just a single of the quintet who could play again this year – and he could without much of a stretch have had more objectives at Turf Moor, missing several odds that by all accounts were normal, outstandingly putting a shot from short proximity into the side-netting.
“It’s a real tough one,” said Dyche.
“He’s out of control, he’s never going to get the ball. By the modern rules, he got lucky with it.
“It’s the old favourite – an orange card.”
