Harry Kane has moved to within twenty of Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney in the top two of the Premier League’s all-time scoring charts.
Kane has scored ten goals in 12 top-flight games this season, with his latest strike coming in a 2-1 loss against Newcastle United on Sunday, October 23.
This goal moved the England captain further past Andy Cole, and he can now further close the gap on the top two.
Kane has said in the past that he has his sights set on breaking Alan Shearer’s incredible record of 260 goals.
He still has the best part of ten years to keep scoring in the top-flight and his form this year suggests he’ll be finding the back of the net on a regular basis.
Kane is now in the top three on the all-time Premier League charts but who else makes the list behind main man Shearer?
