Harry Kane has passed Jimmy Greaves as Tottenham’s all-time record goalscorer.
The 29-year-old drew level with Greaves’ tally of 266 last month with a pinpoint finish against Fulham and on Sunday netted a ruthless opener against Manchester City to move out in front.
Kane’s record haul came in 416 appearances, compared to 379 matches for the late Greaves between 1961 and 1970.
His strike against City also took him to 200 Premier League goals, making him just the third player to reach that landmark after Wayne Rooney (208) and Alan Shearer (260).
England captain Kane made his debut for Spurs in August 2011 and netted his first goal against Shamrock Rovers four months later in a Europa League tie.
He has played under eight managers at Tottenham – permanent or otherwise – with his most goals coming under Mauricio Pochettino (169), followed by Jose Mourinho (45).
The majority of Kane’s goals have come via his right foot (165), while he has also scored 51 times with his left and 49 with his head.
Kane’s tally has been boosted by 39 successful penalty kicks, but just one of his goals – against Aston Villa in November 2014 – has come via a direct free-kick.
The 2017-18 campaign has been Kane’s most prolific to date, having netted 41 times in 48 games, and he is now one goal shy of hitting at least 20 for a ninth straight season.
