Tottenham Hotspur’s 185th goal once morest Wolverhampton… Beyond the Aguero record
“This is not the end.
“
Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur, who set the record for most goals scored by a single club in the English Premier League (EPL).
Kane wrote a new history for the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur on the 20th (Korean time).
He started in the third round of the regular league once morest Wolverhampton at home and was responsible for the goal that decided the 1-0 victory with a header in the 19th minute of the second half.
It was Kane’s 185th league goal.
Kane, who scored all his goals in the Premier League only for Tottenham, surpassed Sergio Aguero (retired), who scored 184 goals for Manchester City, to become the most goalscorer of all time for a club in the Premier League.
It was also Kane’s 250th goal in all competitions for Tottenham.
Kane, who has only played for Tottenham since 2009, excluding the period of playing for another team on loan, is a ‘milestone’ in his football life.
Recognized as one of the world’s best goalkeepers beyond England, Kane’s next goal to conquer is the record for the most goals scored in his EPL career.
The all-time lead in this category is Alan Shearer, who scored 260 goals for Blackburn and Newcastle.
Wayne Rooney (208 goals) and Andy Cole (187 goals) are second and third in this category, respectively, while Kane is fourth.
Mathematically alone, it is by no means impossible for Kane to surpass Shearer.
Assuming Kane, now 29, retires at 35, like Shearer, scoring 13 goals each season might overtake Shearer to become the all-time leader.
After the match once morest Wolverhampton, Kane said on social media, “I’m very proud of myself for breaking Aguero’s record and becoming the top scorer for a single club in the Premier League.” “This is not the end.”
Kane, who scored a monumental goal with a thoroughly promised play with his teammates, also expressed his gratitude to his teammates.
A short corner kick from the left by Heung-Min Son landed on the head of Ivan Perisic, who was running ahead of him, and Kane, who was waiting on the other side of the goal, finished with a header.
“Without the help of my coaches and colleagues, this record would not have been possible,” Kane said.
