Harry Kane gets his August goal and Kenedy has a Newcastle nightmare

Five killer stats from the day's Premier League action as Harry Kane lifted the August curse.

Kenedy's nightmare game

Kenedy endured a miserable afternoon, seeing his injury-time penalty saved in Newcastle's goalless draw at Cardiff. He should have been sent off long before - aiming a wild kick at Victor Camarasa in the first half. "I cannot understand how the referee hasn't seen it," Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports. "He kicks out and it's a red card."

But perhaps the even more startling aspect of Kenedy's first-half performance were his pass completion statistics. There weren't any. The on-loan Chelsea player did not complete a single pass in the opening 45 minutes of the match, becoming the first outfield Premier League player to do so since Blackburn's Nikola Kalinic in March 2010.

Kane ends August drought

Harry Kane had a busy summer with England but he was not going to miss out on the chance to end his extraordinary run of not having scored a Premier League goal in August. The goal did not come in the opening game of the season against Newcastle but the wait finally came to an end when he scored Tottenham's third goal in their 3-1 win over Fulham at Wembley.

Erik Lamela carried the ball from the halfway line to the edge of the opposition box before feeding it to Kane who took a touch, cut inside and curled a low shot into the far corner of the net. The goal means that after 15 Premier League games, 1065 minutes and 49 shots, the supposed curse on the England captain was finally lifted.
