"Thrilling": Chris Sutton reserves special praise for two Tottenham players

Chris Sutton has backed Harry Kane and Son Heung-min to beat his and Alan Shearer’s record of the most goal combinations in a single season and believes the Tottenham duo might be the best pair the Premier League has ever seen. Both Kane and Son are enjoying the current season as the players seem to be in the best form of their careers so far. They scored the two winning goals against Arsenal last weekend, while Jose Mourinho labelled them players "world class" in his post-match press conference. Spurs duo have already combined 11 goals in 11 league matches so far, which is the third-highest in Premier League history behind Sutton and Alan Shearer. “Kane and Son are going to beat mine and Al’s record this season, and I don’t mind passing the mantle over to such a special pair. Not one bit," Sutton wrote about the players in his column for The Daily Mail. “This is a thrilling duo to watch. The best we’ve seen in a single Premier League season? I’m beginning to believe that is the case. “Thinking back to other iconic duos — Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke for Manchester United in 1998-99; Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp for Arsenal in 2003-04; Luiz Suarez and Daniel Sturridge for Liverpool in 2013-14 — these two are right up there. “Kane and Son are a dream for Jose Mourinho. So creative, so clinical. Kane is unselfish and drops deep, like Bergkamp used to do, to serve his team-mates. “They’re on 11 goals after 11 Premier League games, and we’ll see plenty more combinations from them this season, I’m sure.”
