Stats show Spurs score MORE goals per game & have a better win-rate without Kane

It's fair to say that Harry Kane and his Bayern Munich team-mates have endured a five-day period from hell.

After a dismal display against Bundesliga title rivals Bayer Leverkusen - which saw them get beaten 3-0 - Thomas Tuchel's side then lost a crucial Champions League clash with Lazio.

After both games, ex-Tottenham star Kane was slammed by German media outlets for his lack-lustre performances in-front of goal - as he failed to score in either tie.

While the England captain continues to come under scrutiny, over in north London, things haven't looked better for years as Ange Postecoglou continues to develop his youthful Spurs side.

While Kane had been part of a defensive-minded Antonio Conte side, Tottenham have looked reinvigorated under current boss Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian has had an unprecedented impact on the north London side and, even without the club's top goalscorer of all-time, has managed to change their fortunes.

Stats, provided by Opta Stats Perform, show that in 2022-23 Tottenham averaged 1.64 goals per game, with an expected goal tally of 1.42 in all competitions.

In place of Kane, the likes of Son Heung-min, Richarlison and Brennan
