Strength gets him past the defender with the ball at his feet. Too many times he simply just lost it but at least he was doing the old Kane things, just not coming off.
Remember as well this was a woeful Huddersfield defense.

History. Talking about this season and post injury where it is accepted by most that Kane has not been the same player.
Who is disputing the numbers?
My point and the point of many others is his contribution in open play. It is generally accepted it has been some way off the level he had before his injury. Can't you see that?
To me he doesn't look sharp and his contribution today was a pen and a header, with his feet in open play he was not sharp but it was an improvement on recent games. Hopefully the improvement continues.

Clearly One Swallow doesn't relate to history and the original post refers to the 'old' Kane.
I've clearly said he was better today, certainly in the 1st half. Second half I thought he was poor, greedy and losing the ball as he looked knackered (so not sharp)
The concern with Kane as he is now is that as the forward focal point his poor outfield general play affects the whole team and performances. I can't honestly say apart for the 2nd half vs Man Utd that we've looked decent and comfortable this season so far.
If you want to happily clap on the back of numbers that's your choice.

His best performance this season imo. He making runs with the ball, off the ball, pressing, taking up good positions. And he scored two goals. I don’t see how anyone can moan tbh

Far too greedy and hasn’t scored a hatrick for ages

It took Wrighty over fifty more games to reach that total as well.

And Wright had 7 seasons playing in the Premier League, was already very experienced and Arsenal's main man when it started, and his first three seasons were in a 22 team league.

Pretty much 2 seasons quicker than IW and considering what a top striker he was it makes Harry’s stats until now quite remarkable

To be fair this is one of the occasions where just looking at Premier League goals doesn't tell the whole story. Apparently Wright scored over 300 in all competitions which is an amazing record.

Oh it absolutely is, 324 by the way, and Kane has 161 at just 25. At the rate Kane is going I think he’ll get there and then some.

Most of his league goals were at villa, he only scored about 50 odd for united in less than 100 games.
