Premier League 100 club: Harry Kane moves to within four goals of Wayne Rooney

While Antonio Conte‘s incredible outburst may have stolen all of the headlines away from Tottenham Hotspur‘s madcap 3-3 draw with Southampton on Saturday, amongst all of the drama was yet another goal for Harry Kane.

The England captain notched his 21st Premier League goal of the season to restore Tottenham’s lead shortly after the hour mark at St Mary’s, although a late collapse ultimately saw them throw away a two-goal lead and two points.

While Kane’s future continues to be a topic of debate, particularly after Conte’s accusations towards his players and the club in that bombshell press conference, his standing in Premier League history is only improving with each passing week.

The prolific striker’s latest goal was his 204th in the English top flight, bringing him to within four of Wayne Rooney as the second-highest scorer in the competition’s history.
