Harry Kane became Tottenham’s all-time joint leading scorer in first-half stoppage time of Monday night’s Premier League encounter at Fulham.
The Spurs forward received a feed from Son Heung-min, twisted away from Tim Ream, and curled into the bottom corner.
It was Kane’s 266th goal for Tottenham, tying him with Jimmy Greaves, who had the record since 1970.
The England captain had had a disappointing first half, with only four touches of the ball at the half-hour mark at Craven Cottage.
Soon after, a 30-yard effort over the crossbar signaled his intentions, and he joined Greaves on 266 in the first minute of stoppage time.
The away crowd mocked him with chants of ‘one-season wonder’ after he equaled the record.
Spurs fans continue to scream the song in response to opposing fans following his breakout season at Spurs.
That label has been a driving force for Kane throughout his career, even as records have fallen at his feet.
“It’s always on my mind,” he acknowledged back in 2017. “I’ve always said that I want to prove people wrong when they doubt me. I’ll keep striving to improve and become better. It’s a wonderful song for our fans to sing, and I’ll keep singing it for the next nine or ten seasons to see where it takes me.”
Speaking on Kane’s strike on Sky Sports, Gary Neville declared: “For me this is one of the most predictable Harry Kane goals that you will see, as once he comes onto that right foot you know exactly what is going to happen.
“It happened so quickly coming out of a corner that Ream will look back on it and think why have I shown him onto his right foot? But he is absolutely clinical, Harry Kane, he’s a brilliant goalscorer and we all know that.”
Jamie Carragher added: “We can point fingers at defenders and wonder if they can get a little bit tighter but this for me is all about Harry Kane.
“Just spot where he is, I know there’s a lot going on with the ball but it’s the head movement that I love. He’s actually seeing who’s marking him – he looks once and moves in between the defenders, and as this ball comes across to Hojbjerg, as it comes into Son he’s checking where Ream is, he has another look again. He’s looked three times at Ream, seeing where his position is, he’s found himself in between two centre backs before the control and hit.
