Tota Duels Won: Kane 40.5% – 46.6% Sturridge
Fouls Suffered: Kane 26 – 39 Sturridge
Whereas Sturridge was part of a more fluid side with interchangeable passing, Kane seems to have the ability to hold onto the ball upfront and repel opposition defenders.
Sturridge’s flair and quick style are proven through the amount of fouls he suffers, most of them probably being last ditch challenges.
However, Kane seems to relish the fight and is not averse to battering his way through a defence rather than pass his way around it.
