Harry Kane's last-minute winner against Crystal Palace on Sunday moved him ahead of Mohamed Salah as the Premier League's top goalscorer, but it isn't his clinical finishing that makes him so deadly. In fact, it's entirely the opposite...
There is no denying the fact that Harry Kane is a phenomenal striker, backed up by his consistent score tallies for Tottenham in the past four seasons (31, 28, 35 and 35 so far).
However, while some forwards are prolific from few chances, the England international is actually far deadlier due to engineering more chances.
Compared to his rivals Salah and Sergio Aguero, Kane has recorded significantly more shots (156). In fact, he has generated 38 more than the Liverpool forward (108) and 58 more than the Manchester City striker (88).
On average, he scores 15.4 per cent of those shots, which is actually the lowest conversion rate of all the players who have netted more than eight goals in the Premier League this campaign.
But this tactic seems to work for the Englishmen as he overtook Salah again in the race for the league's Golden Boot thanks to that late winner against Palace on Sunday, which he scored despite squandering clear-cut opportunities in both halves.
And one could argue that if he continues this strong link between shot volume and goals, any fan would find it hard pressed to bet against Kane not to finish as the league's top scorer come May.
