Harry Kane scores hat-tricks for fun these days, and it seems nothing has changed from his days in Tottenham’s youth teams.
After the England striker notched his seventh hat-trick of 2017 in a 3-0 win against Burnley, Spurs had a root around the archives and found footage of two Kane hat-tricks that many football fans probably haven’t seen before.
The movement and the finishes are exactly what we’ve come to expect from the 24-year-old in the Premier League.

The first came in 2010 during Spurs under-18s’ 8-1 win over Coventry City under-18s, while the second came during Spurs under-21s’ 6-3 win over Manchester City under-21s, back in 2013.
Over four years later, he hasn’t lost it.

Furthermore, Kane’s goalscoring exploits have drawn him level with Alan Shearer’s record of 36 Premier League goals in a calendar year, while his away goals record in the division is literally second to none.
Equalled @AlanShearer's 36-goal record in a calendar year ✅
50 #PL away goals in 67 games, the quickest to reach a half-century in history ✅@HKane = Mr Reliable 👏 pic.twitter.com/rzCDt1u7p1

Spurs have one more Premier League game this year, at home to Southampton on Boxing Day. Will Kane break the record against the Saints?
