England National team Captain and 2018 FIFA World Cup Golden boot winner Harry Kane unlocked another individual milestone in English football after overtaking Jimmy Greaves as the All-time top goal scorer for Tottenham Hotspur. Kane’s 267th goal was the difference maker last night during his team’s 1-0 victory at home.
It was a very important match for the visitors Manchester City as Arsenal had dropped points at Goddison Park on Sean Dyche’s debut Everton game as the manager. A win for the Blues would have seen them move 2 points closer to the league leaders but Spurs spoiled their party.
City were punished by a over loaded home team which kept throwing their bodies and showed brilliant awareness and alongside a strong zeal to win. Their manager Antonio Conte was not on the touchlines due to his surgery but 3 points against the reigning champions would definitely ease the Italian.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane scored his 267th goal for the North-Londoners in the first quarter of the game following a very loose pass by Rodri to push the ball outside of City’s box. But it met the feet Emile Hojberg who rushed the heart of Man Cityu’s defense and cued it for Harry Kane.

The English International could not have made any mistake as he launched one into the back of the net. His 15th minute goal was enough to seal the victory and ironically made their neighbors Arsenal happy. The Prolific Striker joined Tottenham’s youth ranks in 2009 and made his senior PL debut for the club in 2012.Β Β
Since then he has played 416 matches for the Whites and scored 267 goals alongside 62 assists. It was also his 200th PL strike for the club and surprisingly his 267th Spurs goal was his 500th shot on target in English top-flight.
Is he the greatest English Striker?
