Harry Kane became the seventh English man to score a Champions League hat-trick during Spurs' win over Apoel Nicosia in Cyprus, he joined Andy Cole, Andy Newell, Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney and Danny Wellbeck as the other English men who had managed the feat.
The 24 year old who boasts 11 goals in his last 7 games for Club and Country has also managed 6 hat-tricks in 2017, the stats are endless for the former Leicester City striker. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino had said he was in love with the striker's double against West Ham and joked that he should tread more carefully this time around.
"Now my wife is jealous - and his wife too" Pochettino said with a smile "No I think it's unbelieveable. You know it's Harry Kane.
"He has unbelievable skills in front of goal. He has something special. That's why he's one of the best.
"All the strikers that have this type of level they have something special in front of goals. They are killers. Harry has this special skill"
Harry Kane told ESPN after the game "It's a proud night for myself and obviously the team as well
"The first one was a close, I'm not sure if it was offside or not but Toby's (Alderweireld) played a great ball a great ball in, I've touched it inside and I was also going to take it with my left foot.
"The two in the second half Moussa(Sissoko)'s cut back a ggreat ball and in those kind of positions it's all about the touch and the touch was kind of perfect and that set me up and I stroked it home
"The last one was an unbelievable delivery from Tripps (Kieran Trippier) and I made the run late into the box and I was happy to see it go in."
Tottenham 'unexpectedly' hold the same number of points with Champions Real Madrid after two games, both teams took maximum points in Group H after victories over Dortmund and Apoel Nicosia.
Cristiano Ronaldo who also scored twice as Real Madrid beat Dortmund in Germany will go head-to-head when both clubs meet on Matchday 3.
