Tottenham duo Harry Kane and Heung-min Son became the new owners of a Premier League record on Saturday, owing to their exploits in the club’s meeting with Leeds United.
Antonio Conte’s troops of course returned to action a short time ago.
On the back of an alarming stretch of four league defeats from five, the Lilywhites made the trip to Elland Road, hoping to get things back on track courtesy of a 3-point haul versus Marcelo Bielsa’s faltering Leeds
And, when all was said and done in west Yorkshire, to their credit, return to winning ways is precisely what Spurs managed, in style.
A dominant display ultimately culminated in the north Londoners emerging on the right side of a 4-0 scoreline, to climb back within four points of the Premier League’s top-4.
Matt Doherty was the man to open the afternoon’s scoring at Elland Road, before all of Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane and Heung-min Son too got in on the act, to round out a fine day’s work for Conte’s troops:

Chelsea legends surpassed
As alluded to above, though, one of the four goals racked up by Spurs on Saturday proved of particular significance when it comes to the Premier League’s history books.
This came in the form of the visitors’ 4th, as Harry Kane laid on attacking partner in crime Heung-min Son:

In the process, Tottenham’s long-time star pair secured for themselves sole ownership of the record for most goals ever combined for in the Premier League, breaking their tie with another pair of London-based icons, in the form of Chelsea pair Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba:
