WATCH: Spurs striker Harry Kane levels with Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney on 208 Premier League goals to sit second on all-time list

  • Tottenham talisman on the mark again
  • Already taken Rooney's England record
  • Only Shearer ahead of him in the league

WHAT HAPPENED? The Tottenham talisman has been a regular source of end product since making a senior breakthrough in north London and now sits joint-second on the all-time Premier League chart – with only Newcastle icon Alan Shearer ahead of him on 260 efforts. Kane’s latest strike came in a meeting with Liverpool at Anfield, as he grabbed Spurs a lifeline on Merseyside following another defensive horror show.

WHAT NEXT? Kane will believe that he can chase Shearer down, but it remains to be seen where he will be playing when that record is broken. With his contract at Spurs only running until 2024, Manchester United are said to be sniffing around a summer transfer.
