Kane claims league record for final day goals

Mon 29 May 2023, 12:30|Tottenham Hotspur

Harry Kane took the Premier League record on Sunday afternoon for most goals scored in 'final day' games.

Hitting the target twice as we defeated Leeds United 4-1 in our last outing of the 2022/23 season, Harry upped his tally to 11 goals scored on matchday 38.

Opening the scoring on two minutes, our number 10 registered his 10th final day goal to see him rise above record holder Andrew Cole in the ranking who had nine to his name. He then struck again on 69 minutes at Elland Road for his 11th such goal.

That was one of three records Harry claimed against Leeds as he also took the record for most away goals scored in a Premier League campaign and the most different games scored in a league season.

Watch - Harry's 11th 'final day' goal

Harry's 11 final day goals

It has been quite the season for Harry overall in terms of goalscoring milestones, with his final day record just one of a number of landmarks breached by our number 10 this season:

Tottenham Hotspur's all-time record goalscorer - 267 (now 280)
England's all-time top goalscorer - 54 (now 55)
England's all-time top major tournament goalscorer - 11 (now 12)
Most headed goals in a Premier League season - 10
First player to score a century of home and away goals - 100 and 100 (now 101 and 112)
Most different games scored in during a single Premier League season - 26
Most goals scored on Boxing Day in the Premier League - 11
Most goals scored on the Premier League final day - 11

Also this season, Harry also became just the third player to reach the milestone 200 goals in the Premier League along with Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208). He later went above Rooney into second spot in the league's goalscoring charts with goal 209 - he is now on 213 in the competition (47 behind Shearer).

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