"To win 7-1 away from home is a great end to a great season for us," Kane told after winning the match against Hull.

"It's massive to win the Golden Boot again. I said to retain it would be special with the injuries I've had but to score 29 goals in 30 games is something I feel proud of.

"Finishing the season with seven goals in two games is perfect, hopefully, I can continue it at the start of next season. When you look at the players behind us, we have a fantastic team. We are delighted with the way we finished."

The Spurs striker in the 36th game-week was trailing by two goals from Everton Striker, however, the 23-year-old scored seven goals in the last two matches, including four goals against Leicester City in the midweek, to secure his reigning medal.
