Drogba and Lampard are followed on the list by Sergio Aguero and David Silva combining for 29 goals for The Citizens to tally with Thierry Henry and Robert Pires’ goal combination during their time together at Arsenal.

Son told Sky Sports: “We’ve been waiting for long, isn’t it?”
“This is a great record, I mean, this is historical. I didn’t do many things, this guy [Kane], sometimes I just cross the ball and he’s inside the box finishing so well.”
“So we are glad to have this record and I hope many more to come as well.”
Kane also said: “We had a lot of preparation obviously. We connect really well and have a great understanding of the pitch.”
“I can’t wait to watch it back in the video room tomorrow.”
