Tottenham’s Harry Kane hits 100 Premier League goals: here’s his top 10
In the end, Harry Kane found the back of the net against Liverpool to break into the illustrious Premier League 100 club. Here are ten of his most memorable strikes.
- Tottenham 2-1 Arsenal (February 2015)
Harry climbed highest to send one across David Ospina and into the top bin. It was his second of the day and it’s safe to say that no Arsenal fan was left questioning whose name is Harry Kane after the game.
- Tottenham 4-3 Leicester City (March 2015)
Harry has made a bit of a habit out of collecting match balls. He claimed his first in the Premier League after sending Casper Schmeichel the wrong way from the spot in a thrilling game at the Lane. It topped off a special week for Kane, who had just received his first call up to the national side.
- Southampton 0-2 Tottenham (December 2015)
Kane is so much more than just a clinical finisher, as he proved against Southampton in 2015. On his 100th appearance for Spurs he brushed aside two Saints players before leaving Virgil van Dijk, the world’s most expensive defender, swinging for fresh air.
- Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham (November 2014)
Let’s rewind 90-something Premier League goals to a miserable evening at Villa Park. Harry was on as a late substitute for Emmanuel Adebayor and stood in the pouring rain over a last minute free-kick. Spurs’ were in a poor run of form and Mauricio Pochettino claims that Harry’s next strike may have saved his job.
"“The team were 14th or 13th and we were a little bit under pressure because the team were not winning games. Always in football, when you don’t get good results, the first to be sacked is the manager.”"
- Tottenham 2-2 Arsenal (March 2016)
Harry loves a London derby and a broken nose couldn’t keep him from starring in this one. After picking the ball up by the corner flag it, Kane nestled it home after two touches. Kane removed his facemask as he reeled away in celebration, beautifully depicting his unbridled passion for the club.
- Tottenham 5-2 Southampton (December 2017)
It almost seemed like a testimonial as Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-Min laid the first two on a plate for Kane. The four-season wonder was in the mood and dinked home a third for good measure after effortlessly penetrating the Saints’ backline.
- Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal (April 2017)
It was the last ever North London derby at White Hart Lane and Harry fittingly claimed the final goal with a 58th minute penalty. The win had the added significance of ensuring Spurs finished above their neighbours for the first time in 22 years.
- Tottenham 5-3 Chelsea (January 2015)
It was New Years Day, and in many ways it a performance that marked a new era for Spurs. Tottenham put five past Chelsea and Harry was in the thick of it. With seemingly nowhere to go, Kane zigzagged his way infield before smashing the ball past Thibaut Courtois from almost 30 yards. His second goal that day wasn’t too bad either.
- Tottenham 4-0 Everton (January 2018)
Harry netted twice against Everton last month to surpass Teddy Sheringham as the club’s all time Premier League record scorer. Quite a remarkable feat given the fact he is still only 24.
