It began the season as a bit of a joke, but there must now be genuine concern that Harry Kane will never score a Premier League goal in August.
The England striker has played 11 PL games in August throughout his career, but never scored – however, when the eighth month of the year ended this year, he immediately scored for England.
And now, a brace against Everton – the drought’s over Harry.
25 – Harry Kane's goal ended a run of 25 shots without scoring in the @premierleague; his 2nd longest run in the competition. Relief.

One of his goals wasn’t even deliberate.
Harry Kane could not score for love nor money in August, now even his crosses for #thfc are finding the net.

Furthermore, the 24-year-old has now reached a century of goals for Spurs in just 169 games.

This August curse is a thing now for at least another 11 months, until the start of the 2018/19 season.
Harry Kane scores his 100th goal for Spurs. Must be September.

Maybe Spurs could loan him out for the first month of each season in future?
