Harry Kane edged out Jimmy Greaves for Tottenham’s goals, scoring the opener in their home clash against Manchester City.
The Tottenham striker got ahead of them after good work from midfielder Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg, who collected the ball in a dangerous position before launching Kane.

Kane alone for Spurs goals
The 15th-minute effort was a historic 267th goal for Spurs for Kane, meaning he is now ahead of club legend Greaves.
It is also his 200th Premier League goal on his 304th appearance in the competition, quicker than the only two men to score more goals in the competition, Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney.
Premier League record goalscorer Shearer, who has 260 strikes to his name, hit 200 on his 306th appearance, while Manchester United legend Rooney did so on his 462nd appearance.
Despite all this, talkSPORT’s Scott Minto thinks the Tottenham star and England captain isn’t getting enough credit.
Reacting to the goal, Minto said: “It was great play from Hojbjerg and great finishing from Kane. I think Greaves was one of the best finishers in the game, but Harry Kane is right there for me.
“He could be one of the best footballers this country and the Premier League has ever seen.
