Premier League: Harry Kane becomes Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer

LONDON: Harry Kane on Sunday became Tottenham's all-time top scorer when he netted the goal in the Premier League clash against Manchester City.

The striker scored his 267th goal in the first half of the Premier League match, beating Jimmy Greaves' 53-year-old record. Kane's goal marked his 200th in the Premier League, trailing only Wayne Rooney (208 goals) and Alan Shearer (260 goals).

Tottenham won by 1-0 against Manchester City, who needed a win to close the gap on Premier League leader Arsenal to two points.

Arsenal was not penalised for their 1-0 loss to Everton on Saturday, which may come as little surprise. After all, City hasn't won or even scored in five Premier League or Champions League games at Tottenham's new stadium.

Kane scored in the 15th minute after Pierre-Emile Hjbjerg intercepted a pass out from behind by City midfielder Rodri and set up the striker for his 200th Premier League goal.

For the goal, City was the architect of its own demise, much as it was when it conceded two careless first-half goals against Tottenham last month before recovering for a 4-2 win at Etihad Stadium.

Despite a second-half rally prompted by the arrival of Kevin De Bruyne, who had been benched for the second straight game against Tottenham, and the 87th-minute dismissal of Cristian Romero for a second yellow card, there was no comeback this time.

Kane said that breaking Jimmy Greaves' record to become Tottenham's all-time leading scorer was a "magical moment".
