Spurs top scorers against the Big Six: Kulusevski draws level with Defoe, Lamela and Van der Vaart
Dejan Kulusevski is the second-highest scorer in Premier League games against the Big Six of all current Spurs players. Heung-min Son has a decent lead.
From the most obvious of leaders to the forgettably excellent Dele Alli and memorably effective Emmanuel Adebayor, here is every player to have scored for Spurs in Premier League matches against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United since the start of the 2010/11 season – the first in which they comprised the top six.
We have even broken it down into goals against each opponent before confirming the overall totals. These numbers are accurate as of the last Arsenal game versus a Big Six side (3-0 v Manchester United on September 29, 2024).
