Tottenham star Harry Kane has joined an exclusive list of Premier League footballers to win consecutive Golden Boot honours.

The Spurs striker scored a treble Sunday against an uninspired Hull City side to give him 29 on the campaign and seven goals in his last two league matches. With 29 goals scored in 30 appearances, Kane averaged nearly a goal per game.

That's 54 goals for Kane in two seasons after the local boy bagged 25 a year ago to narrowly take the honours at the expense of Leicester's Jamie Vardy and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero.

Kane, 23, is now the fifth player in the Premier League era to win the award in consecutive seasons, joining Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Thierry Henry, and Robin van Persie. Kane will head into next season looking to match Shearer and Henry's record for three Golden Boots on the bounce.

And to think, some pundits said he was a one-season wonder.
