Harry Kane: Tottenham striker scores 200th Premier League goal and overtakes Jimmy Greaves as Spurs top scorer | Soccer News

Harry Kane scored the winner against Manchester City to become Tottenham’s all-time top goalscorer, reaching 200 Premier League goals in the process – but how did he pull off those feats?

Kane is now just eight goals behind Wayne Rooney in the all-time Premier League goalscoring chart and is trailing Alan Shearer’s record 260.

The graph below reveals that Kane’s strike rate has always lagged slightly behind Shearer’s, but he recently overtook the former Newcastle striker and now matches his returns after the same number of games.

The 2017/18 season was Kane’s most successful campaign to date, scoring 30 Premier League goals and converting 11 more in other competitions – but the forward is on track to achieve similar returns this quarter if it maintains its current ratio.

In all competitions, Kane has scored 165 goals for Spurs with his preferred right boot and scored a further 100 with his left foot and headers combined, in nearly equal measure – while around one in 10 goals have been taken from outside the surface.

The striker looks to be getting more and more dangerous over 90 minutes, with his goalscoring ratio increasing over 15-minute intervals until he hits the peak of his powers at the start of the second half and in the final 15 minutes of games .

Among Kane’s favorite opponents in all competitions are Leicester and Arsenal, two clubs where he has played before, having loaned out with the Foxes in the Championship in 2013 and spending a year with the Gunners aged just eight.

Kane’s strike rate against Leicester exceeds one goal per game – with 19 out of 18 matches, with similar ratios against Everton, Stoke, West Brom, Fulham and Norwich.

Use the interactive chart below to scroll through Kane’s 267 goals for Spurs to date, dating back to his very first for the club in a 4-0 win over Shamrock Rovers in the Europa League in 2011.
