Harry Kane beat a long-standing Jimmy Greaves record to become Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time top scorer when he bagged his 200th Premier League goal during his side’s 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.
The England captain drew level with Greaves on 266 goals for the north London club when he fired in the opening goal against Fulham at Craven Cottage on January 23.But Kane’s winner against the reigning Premier League champions put him ahead of Greaves as the standalone record holder on 267 strikes, and brought up his double-century in the English top flight in the process.Greaves won two FA Cups and the Cup Winners’ Cup during his time at Spurs, but Kane is still looking for his first piece of major silverware in his 13th season at the club.Kane has picked up several prestigious individual awards, winning the Premier League Golden Boot three times and the World Cup Golden Boot in 2018.
The 29-year-old is also third in the all-time Premier League goalscorer standings, behind Wayne Rooney on 208 goals and Alan Shearer on 260 goals. Kane has been in fine form for Antonio Conte’s side this season, with his record in the league now standing at 17 goals from 22 appearances.
