One Player Is The Secret To Harry Kane's Success

Harry Kane has established himself as Tottenham's main man over the past two seasons, but, as is the case with any football team, no one player can be successful without having a couple of useful teammates around him. And for Kane, there's one player in particular who is more important than most.

Kane again failed to find the back of the net today, as Spurs came from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Liverpool. The Spurs striker is currently goalless for the season and it's clear he's missing one man - Mousa Dembele.

When Dembele accompanies Kane onto the pitch, the England striker scores. Without the Belgian, Kane falters and the stats don't lie. With Dembele in the team, Kane has scored 24 times in 27 games. In the 12 games Kane has played without his Belgian teammate, he's found the net just once in 12 appearances.

Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping he can get Dembele back into his starting XI as he looks to kick start both Kane and the rest of his team's Premier League campaign.
