Harry Kane pays Man City compliment after becoming Tottenham's all-time leading scorer

Harry Kane revelled in his achievement after becoming Tottenham Hotspur 's new all-time record goalscorer against "one of the best teams in the world."

The Spurs striker, 29, surpassed the legendary Jimmy Greaves ' goalscoring record with the only goal in Tottenham's rousing 1-0 victory over Manchester City. Kane, who almost joined the Citizens 18 months ago, struck in the 15th minute to down Pep Guardiola 's side in North London on Sunday.

Post-match, the England captain was beaming with pride and told Sky Sports: "It's hard to put it into words, just a magical moment and I was so desperate to do it with a win as well, I wanted to win so bad. Once we went 1-0 up it was just about keeping the clean sheet and to do it in front of the home fans just a moment I'll never forget.
