Englishman to score 30 goals in a season for his club since the Premier League began......Not bad company to be alongside AND he is still only 21yo
Ian Wright – 1992/93, 1993/94, 1994/95, 1996/97
Andrew Cole – 1993/94
Alan Shearer – 1993/94, 1994/95, 1995/96, 1999/00
Matt Le Tissier – 1994/95
Robbie Fowler – 1994/95, 1995/96, 1996/97
Kevin Phillips – 1999/00
Wayne Rooney – 2009/10, 2011/12
Harry Kane – 2014/15
Kane became only the eighth

That's some company he's in. Every one of those players is considered a Premier League great.

Kevin Phillips arguably not, but the rest anyway.

There are not that many foreign players to add to that list to tell the truth, so it would still be an elite club. Ronaldo, Drogba, RVP, Van Nistelrooy, Aguero, Adebayor, Suarez, Torres and Henry isn't it?

Season 1994/1995
Ian Wright, Alan Shearer, Matt Le Tissier, Robbie Fowler
Some season that was for English strikers.
Of course that was the season with Teddy and Jurgen up front who were both just short of 30.
Then there was the other foreigners like Cantona (kung fu kick season)

That was the same season Cole put 5 past Ipswich.... And the game where he basically gained the now-notorious tag of "needing 5 chances to score". Hoddle killed him with that one.

Of course it helped back then that there were 2 extra teams in the league meaning 4 more games. Still, it would be unthinkable now to have 8 of the 9 top goalscorers in the season being Englishman. Just wouldn't happen.
