Harry Kane is close to becoming Tottenham Hotspur's all-time top goalscorer after netting against Wolves. Antonio Conte led the north Londoners to a 1-0 win over Bruno Lage's side to continue an unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
The 29-year-old, who sees his contract at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium expire in 2024, scored his 250th goal for Spurs and is now just 16 behind Jimmy Greaves. Kane's efforts also saw him become the highest scoring player for one club in Premier League history, surpassing Sergio Aguero (184) to claim top spot.
Wayne Rooney sits third, Thierry Henry is fourth and Alan Shearer is fifth. However, the England international is still some way off becoming the league's all-time undisputed top goalscorer. In a weekend of landmarks, Kane's goal against Wolves was also Tottenham's 1000th Premier League home goal.

Speaking on BT Sport to reflect on his achievement, he reinstated his passion and desire to plough and build upon his success. Kane said: "It’s been a fantastic nine, 10 years playing in the Premier League and hopefully got plenty more years to go.
"Always love to score, always love scoring, the important thing is winning games and we’ve done that. Everyone dug deep, clean sheet and we keep going."
Kane added by speaking on Spurs' prospects this season ahead of what looks to be an exiting term for Conte. He said: "Time will tell as the season goes on, we need to play better, start games better.
"It was the same last week against Chelsea, we didn’t start well and the second half we got into the game. We need to improve but when you’ve not played well and you won that’s the sign of a good team."
The Lilywhites are now - momentarily - top of the Premier League and look to be a well-oiled side. Kane will undoubtedly play a major role in any success that Tottenham reap and he'll certainly have one eye on overtaking Greaves...
