Harry Kane was not on the scoresheet in Tottenham's 4-1 win against Southampton on Saturday. Four goals in a game and Kane not scoring one of them seems out of the ordinary, but it was true.
Spurs' win has taken them top of the Premier League, after the first game week and it was a solid performance from Antonio Conte's side. And the fact that Kane did not score - or assist - and neither did Son Heung-min highlights that they don't need to always rely on the two superstars for goals. The England captain had just two shots against the Saints and made two key passes.
However, it was only the first match of the season and Kane doesn't often score many goals in August. This season is a marked difference to what last summer brought with it though. The 29-year-old was involved in a transfer saga, which saw him seem close to making the move to Man City. Kane remained in N17 and after a slow start to the 2021/22 campaign, he got back to his best and was another player who has improved, since Conte's arrival.
