Full list of all-time Premier League top goalscorers as Harry Kane overtakes Wayne Rooney

Harry Kane has overtaken Wayne Rooney to become the second-highest goalscorer in Premier League history, with his header in Tottenham's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace his 209th league goal.

Kane reached the milestone in just 317 games and is now chasing down the all-time record which is currently held by Alan Shearer, who netted a whopping 260 Premier League goals in 441 games. Speaking after Tottenham's win, their first under acting head coach Ryan Mason, Kane said it was a "special feeling" to have gone past Rooney.

"It's nice to get on the scoresheet and when you win it feels that bit sweeter," he told BBC Match of the Day. "I want to keep scoring goals so to pass someone like Wayne Rooney, one of the best players in this country, is a special feeling."
