By India Today Web Desk: Harry Kane surpassed Jimmy Greaves to become Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time record scorer with 267th goal on Sunday.
Kane achieved the feat in a Premier League match against Manchester City, striking in the 15th minute of the game. The England international gave the Spurs an early lead and along the way celebrated his milestone in London.
The 29-year-old had equalled the tally of Jimmy Greaves when he scored the winner against Fulham last month. Greaves’ record remained intact since 1970.
Kane’s record goal came in 416 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur in all competitions, while Greaves registered the record in 379 matches. The goal against Manchester City also marked Kane’s 200th in the Premier League.
Earlier, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said that his striker Erling Haaland can improve his all-round game by watching and learning from Kane.
“With Erling, one of the attributes that surprised me the most is how he is aware he can improve in many departments,” Guardiola said.
“And I’m pretty sure maybe watching Harry Kane, but not necessarily Harry, other players too, he has the will to think, ‘I can do better.’ With his age, this is the best thing he can believe. Otherwise, it would be boring.
“Harry Kane remains one of the best strikers I have ever seen in my life,” Guardiola added. “What an exceptional player – the numbers and, more than the goals, the quality. That they didn’t win a title (does not mean) he is not a good player. I think he proved that.”
