Harry Kane BEATS Jimmy Greaves’ all-time goal record as he gives Tottenham lead over Man City
HARRY KANE is Tottenham’s record scorer after grabbing his 267th goal.
The star broke the deadlock with 14 minutes on the clock against Manchester City to surpass the legendary Jimmy Graves’ long-held record which has stood for 53 years.

And to make the moment even sweeter it was also his 200th Premier League goal.
The England captain, 29, is only the third player ever to hit a double century since the restructure of the top-flight in 1992.
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is on 208 while Alan Shearer is top dog with 260.
The magic moment came with Spurs’ first attack of this afternoon’s Premier League showdown in North London.
Midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg intercepted a loose pass just outside of the box City.
He drew in a couple of defenders before squaring it right to Kane, and the hotshot expertly slotted past Ederson into the bottom corner.
Despite the personal accolades, Kane has still yet to taste silverware with Tottenham but he has been adamant that a move is not on his mind.
Kane, who is about to enter the final year of his deal in North London, last month: “I am concentrating on this season.
“There will always be talk about my future, I just want to focus on my job on the pitch.
“There is a long way to go, a lot to play for like the Champions League, FA Cup and that is what my focus is on.”
