England captain Harry Kane can make it a perfect hat-trick against Newcastle United next weekend. The Spurs striker has a solid - but not spectacular - record immediately after the international break.
Kane has played 24 games for Tottenham after returning from Three Lions duty, scoring in nine of those games while bagging 13 goals in total. It took him four attempts to get off the mark when he bagged a brace against bitter rivals West Ham in November 2015.
However, bad news for Newcastle fans is that the 28-year-old has faced the Magpies twice after returning from the England set-up - and he bagged on both occasions. Coincidentally, Kane capitalised on the Three Lions’ victories against Poland and Albania last year by netting a brace at St James’ Park on April 2, almost a year apart from next weekend’s fixture.
