Having scored three goals against Burnley and Southampton in his last two games of December, the 20-year-old picked up in January exactly where he left off with back-to-back braces against Watford and Chelsea.
That game against Chelsea saw Spurs win 2-0 and end deny their opponents what would have been a 14th straight victory and a new Premier League record.
