Stats spotlight - Dele's king of Kane assists!

Mon 21 March 2016, 16:45|Tottenham Hotspur

Dele Alli is in seventh heaven - that's the number of times he's provided assists for Harry Kane this season.

In an outstanding debut Premier League campaign, Dele has been directly involved in 16 goals - claiming seven himself and providing nine assists.

Seven of those assists have come for Harry - the most by one player to another - accounting for one-third of the striker's 21 goals in the Premier League so far this season.

The pair were in sync again as we put Bournemouth to the sword on Sunday. Already 1-0 up, Dele weighted a perfect pass for Harry to finish first-time for 2-0 in the 16th minute, his second goal. Christian Eriksen wrapped it up at 3-0 in the second half.

"It’s natural instinct to link up with Harry the way I do, he’s a great player with great movement," said Dele after Sunday's victory at the Lane. "As soon as I looked up I saw him make the run, played it to him and most of the time you just know he’s going to put it away like he did.

"He’s a great finisher and it’s important to have someone like that in your team."

Here are the graphics of the seven Dele-Harry goals...
