Harry Kane falls short after breaking Tottenham Hotspur’s club record. The English striker scored his 267th goal for the Spurs against Manchester City on Sunday, making him the London club’s all-time top scorer.
“I’ll never forget this day,” Kane told Sky Sports. “It’s hard to put into words how I feel. It’s a magical feeling.”
29-year-old Kane scored his record goal after fifteen minutes of play against Manchester City and gave Tottenham the win: 1-0. The attacker equaled the record of Jimmy Greaves, who scored 266 goals for the Spurs, at the end of last month with his goal against Fulham (0-1).
“I absolutely wanted to break the record with a victory in front of my own audience. There has been so much talk about it in recent weeks. If it succeeds against one of the best teams in the world, it gives a special feeling.”
Kane joined Tottenham’s youth academy in 2004. After a number of rental periods, he broke through in the main squad in the 2013/2014 season and scored for the Spurs for the first time.

‘Jimmy Greaves is een absolute held’
Kane also scored his 200th goal in the Premier League against City. It took him 304 games to reach that milestone. No one managed to do that in a shorter time frame, not even Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney.
“When I started my career, I couldn’t imagine scoring 200 goals in the Premier League,” said Kane. “It’s great that I’ve achieved that now and hopefully more will follow.”
Kane passed club legend Greaves, who scored 266 goals in 321 appearances for Tottenham in the 1950s and 1960s. “Jimmy Greaves is an absolute hero, one of the best strikers ever. So it’s a special feeling to be in his company. I’m sure his family will be proud too.”
