Harry Kane becomes Tottenham's all time top scorer
Tottenham and England legend Harry Kane’s winner against Manchester City took him to 267 goals for the club, moving him above Jimmy Greaves to become Spurs’ stand-alone all-time top scorer in all competitions.
Kane had drawn level with Greaves when he scored in the London derby against Fulham in January, but his brilliantly taken goal took him above Greaves and any other player in Tottenham’s history.
Kane’s goal was also his 200th in the Premier League, putting him in great company alongside Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney, as the only players to score 200 goals or more in the English Premier League.

He still has a few records to catch up with, including Greaves' record of 220 goals for Tottenham in the English first division, and Shearer’s 260 Premier League goal record, but with age on his side and his form showing no sign of dwindling, it is hard to look past Kane reaching those milestones.
Kane has been at Tottenham since he was nine years old and has written his name into the club’s folklore, becoming an indubitable legend at Spurs thanks to several years of impeccable service.
Kane has been Tottenham’s top scorer in every season since his first full season with the club, and if he finishes this season as the top scorer again, he will have done so in eight consecutive seasons.
