Harry Kane BEATS Jimmy Greaves’ all-time goal record as he fires Tottenham to victory over Man City
Sponsored by
HARRY KANE is Tottenham's record scorer after grabbing his 267th goal.
The star scored the only goal against Manchester City to surpass the legendary Jimmy Graves' long-held record which has stood for 53 years.
And to make the moment even sweeter it was also his 200th Premier League goal.
The England captain, 29, is only the third player ever to hit a double century since the restructure of the top-flight in 1992.
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is on 208 while Alan Shearer is top dog with 260.
The magic moment came with Spurs’ first attack of this afternoon’s Premier League showdown in North London.

Midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg intercepted a loose pass just outside of the box City.
He drew in a couple of defenders before squaring it right to Kane, and the hotshot expertly slotted past Ederson into the bottom corner.
Kane said afterwards: “It's hard to put into words and I'm so glad it came in a win.
“We worked so hard to keep a clean sheet. It was so special to do it in front of the fans.

“There has been so much talk about it in the last couple of weeks and to do it in such a big game is even more special.
“It is a great feeling. When I started playing regularly it wasn't even in my imagination to score 200 Premier League goals and I have a few more years left so hopefully there are more to come.
“[Jimmy Greaves] is a complete hero, one of the best strikers to play the game so to be in that conversation is special. And to overtake him is a huge moment for me.”
Despite the personal accolades, Kane has still yet to taste silverware with Tottenham but he has been adamant that a move is not on his mind.
Kane, who is about to enter the final year of his deal in North London, last month: “I am concentrating on this season.
“There will always be talk about my future, I just want to focus on my job on the pitch.
“There is a long way to go, a lot to play for like the Champions League, FA Cup and that is what my focus is on.”
