Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has admitted that becoming the north London club's all-time goalscorer is a "magical" feeling as the 29-year-old's effort against Manchester City on Sunday saw the Englishman reach 267 goals for Spurs.
The goal, which proved to be the winner in a 1-0 victory over Pep Guardiola's men, also saw the forward become the quickest player to reach 200 Premier League goals with Wayne Rooney (208) and Alan Shearer (260) the only players left above him in the standings.
Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, Kane revealed: "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.

"Especially being here at home in front of the fans, there’s been so much talk about it over the last couple of weeks and I just wanted to get it done as soon as possible so to do it in a big game against one of the best teams in the world, it’s a special feeling."
On reaching 200 Premier League goals, the striker added: "It’s a great feeling. When I started playing regularly eight or nine years ago it weren’t even in my imagination to score 200 Premier League goals so to be there now is just exciting. I’ve got plenty more years left, hopefully a few more to come.
"Back when Tim Sherwood gave me my first start and I was so desperate to make an impression then and score, that was just the start. A lot of hard work between that game with Mauricio [Pochettino] and all the coaches, another good feeling."
By scoring his 267th goal for the club, Kane surpassed Jimmy Greaves in the scoring charts and reserved high praise for the former Spurs star, saying: "A complete hero, one of the best strikers to have played the game so even to be in that company is a special feeling. Overtaking him, I’m sure his family will be watching and they’ll be proud as well, just overall a really good night."
The 29-year-old also addressed the fans in attendance, stating: "I just want to say thank you to all the fans here and obviously fans back home who have supported me through my whole career.
"Thank you to my wife Kate, my kids, my family, my friends and my teammates here. Past teammates, the coaches, everyone who has helped me get to this moment in my career, I'm really grateful.
"We've still got a lot to play for this year. Let's keep the support going and see where it takes us."
Antonio Conte's side are now just one point off of the top four in fifth but fourth place Newcastle have one game in hand whilst sixth place Brighton have two with the Seagulls five points behind Tottenham.
