Boxing Day, the holiday season of Christmas presents, has long been a tradition for Premier League fans, as there will be exciting top-flight matches. The tradition dates back to 1888 when Bolton Wadeles took on Derby County and Preston North End took on West Brrom. Arsenal currently lead the table before Christmas and will be hoping to maintain their position at the end of the season.
The highlight of this year's Boxing Day was Aston Villa's pit against a struggling Manchester United, who were steadily advancing in the title race. When it comes to the Premier League's goalscorer on December 26, Harry Kane stands out with his excellent record for Tottenham Hotspur. Despite Kane's struggles to score in August, he scored 10 goals in seven games on Boxing Day.
The former Bayern Munich player, the second-highest scorer in Premier League history, cemented his lead with a goal against Brentford last year. Arsenal legend Thierry Henry scored a memorable hat-trick against Leicester City on 26 December 2000, while Robbie Fowler netted his hat-trick in just 4 minutes and 33 seconds. Kane's record may not be broken for some time, as no one in the top 10 active players has surpassed his achievements. Kane himself has set ambitious goals, believing that if he wins the trophy, he will have a chance to compete for the much-acclaimed Ballon d'Or.
