The South Korea striker is on fire right now and his first-half strike means he is only the second player in the club’s history to hit the net in five home Premier League games on the bounce.
And, no, the other White Hart Lane ace to have produced such a red-hot blitz is not the prolific Kane.
It was Jermain Defoe, 14 years ago. Not that the England skipper was prepared to be sitting in the back seat for too long at Wembley.
As if. Barely a minute into the second half he was on hand to tap in Tottenham’s second – courtesy of Son’s pass – and put the result beyond doubt.
It also ensured that Kane joined Teddy Sheringham at the top of the north London club’s all-time Premier League goal charts – with 97 in all.

But he was far from finished. Ten minutes later he overtook Sheringham at the summit as he grabbed his second – and rampant Tottenham’s third.
The comprehensive win over a disappointing Everton keeps Mauricio Pochettino’s men right in the mix for a top-four finish.
They now sit behind fourth-placed Liverpool, who face runaway leaders Manchester City at Anfield tomorrow, on goals scored only.
That is arguably more important to Kane than any individual honours.
Yes Spurs chairman Daniel Levy insists the Spurs skipper will be going nowhere this summer – as Real Madrid continue to monitor his situation.
However, everyone knows that fending off interest from Europe’s elite will be a whole lot easier if they qualify for the Champions League again.

Having stretched their unbeaten run at Wembley to 11 games in all competitions, the north Londoners are clearly loving life at their temporary abode.
What a contrasting picture for Everton and their still relatively new boss Sam Allardyce.
“The second half performance was a bit of a shock,” he said. “I would have expected it would be a tough game but I was also relatively comfortable at half time.
“It was surprising to see the collapse. That is what it was, a collapse of organisation and professionalism. The defending basics have gone out of the window and it is a question about being a bit more boring than we were today.
“I would sooner see us at the back end of Match of the Day than the front end.”

Scoring goals, as it was for his sacked predecessor Ronald Koeman, is still the main problem – hence the £27million splashed out on Cenk Tosun.
The Turkish striker, signed from Besiktas, has a decent record but on his debut he rarely had an opportunity to show his class.
Spurs exposed some serious issues at the back for Big Sam to resolve.
Wayne Rooney thought he had scored when he nodded in a header from Tosun.
However, as he wheeled away to celebrate, he was stopped in his tracks by the offside flag.

That jolted Spurs into serious action and they broke the deadlock on 25 minutes.
French right back Serge Aurier, in acres of space on the right, picked out Son, who scored from close range.
Kane then grabbed his double early in the second half.
The first was as simple as Son’s opener, the second rather more fortunate as his bouncing effort wrong-footed the unfortunate Jordan Pickford.
Eriksen was denied a beauty by the woodwork before he finally put his name on the scoresheet with a classy finish.
