Premier League players who loved scoring against one club, including Harry Kane, Luis Suarez, Sergio Aguero, and Didier Drogba

Tottenham Hotspur's awful week finally ended at the weekend as they threw away another lead, losing 2-1 to Leicester.

Harry Kane put Mauricio Pochettino's men 1-0 up, just as he did in their 2-2 Champions League draw with Olympiakos, and they thought they had scored another before Serge Aurier’s strike was eventually ruled out by VAR.

But Ricardo Pereira and James Maddison struck to win it for the Foxes and once again questions have been asked about Spurs' temperament when they get into winning positions.

One positive Spurs fans can take is that Kane got back on the scoresheet - and what a finish it was.

The England captain somehow struck the ball into the net as he clattered onto the floor after losing his balance.

The striker kept up his remarkable record against the Foxes, scoring his 14th goals in 13 games against in all competitions against the club -  four more than he has versus any other side in his professional career.

In light of his phenomenal record, marvelbet369.com has identified ten other Premier League players who also love to score against a singular club...

He didn't manage to net against Spurs in his solitary appearance for Crystal Palace.
