Harry Kane equalled the Premier League record for most different games scored in during a single season with his goals against Leeds on Sunday afternoon.
As we ran out 4-1 victors at Elland Road, Harry bagged a brace in what was the 26th league game he has found the target in this campaign.
That levelled the record set by Andrew Cole in the 1993/94 season, however our number 10 managed to do so in a 38-game season, four matches less than Cole did in what was then a 42-game campaign.
The record was one of three in the league that Harry either matched or beat in our final day outing in West Yorkshire with the striker also claiming the record of most away goals scored in a single season as well as most final day goals scored in the competition's history.

He also became just the sixth player in history to register 250 goal contributions in the Premier League - now 259.
