Harry Kane cemented his place as a Tottenham legend after becoming the club’s all-time top scorer with 267 goals.
The England skipper surpassed Jimmy Greaves’ 53-year record after grabbing the winner in Sunday’s 1-0 win over Manchester City.

In doing so, he also racked up his 200th Premier League goal, with only Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney scoring more.
It is the first time since November 2017 that a current Premier League club has had a new all-time top scorer.
That was when Sergio Aguero surpassed Eric Brook’s tally of 177 goals to go top of the Citizens’ charts.
Interestingly, five of the ‘Big Six’ clubs have had their goalscoring record broken in the 21st century.
While eight records have stood since before the start of World War Two in 1939 – with one still intact from 1903.
Here, talkSPORT runs you through every club’s leading and current top scorer – and how long they have held the record.

Now a fully-fledged Premier League striker, Toney has 25 top-flight goals to his name.

Chelsea – Frank Lampard – 211 – May 2013

From 2003/04-2012/13, Lampard finished the season with double figures – earning him a place in the PFA Team of the Year on three occasions.
His protege Mason Mount, who he coached at Chelsea and Derby, is their highest present-day scorer with 33 goals.
Crystal Palace – Peter Simpson – 165 – January 1931
The Eagles icon averaged almost a goal a game during his six-year stay at Selhurst Park from 1929-1935.

No current Everton player has scored more than Calvert-Lewin[/caption]
Fulham – Gordon Davies – 178 – February 1989
The 67-year-old enjoyed two spells at Craven Cottage – first from 1978-1984 before he moved to Chelsea and then to Manchester City.
Davies returned to Fulham in 1986 where he remained for a further five years, with the Cottagers granting him a testimonial at the end of his second spell.
Aleksandar Mitrovic is hunting down Davies’ record as he already has 107 goals for Fulham in what is his sixth season with the club.

Leicester – Arthur Chandler – 273 – January 1926
Incredibly, none of Chandler’s 273 goals from his 419 matches come from the penalty spot.
He has still scored over 100 more times than Jamie Vardy [168], who is third in Leicester’s all-time charts.
The 36-year-old is currently enduring his worst season for the Foxes in front of goal having scored just once in the league from 21 games.

He won five league titles with the Reds, along with three FA Cups, five League Cups and two European Cups.
His time in Merseyside came to an end in 1996, with the Welshman retiring in 2000 at the age of 38.
Mohamed Salah has scored half of Rush’s amount [173] since joining from Roma in 2017, with the Egyptian seventh in the club’s all-time charts with Robbie Fowler [183] and Steven Gerrard [186] in his sights.

Manchester City – Sergio Aguero – 260 – November 2017
One of the Premier League’s most clinical strikers, the Argentine star spent a decade at the Etihad after joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011.
The 2021 Copa America champion was voted into the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2022.
Kevin De Bruyne is the Citizens’ top scorer from the current squad with 89 strikes, though just three have come this season.
Summer recruit Erling Haaland has 31 goals since joining, and could break Aguero’s record should he stay at City for several more years.
Manchester United – Wayne Rooney – 253 – January 2017
The DC United boss surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s 44-year record six years ago when he whipped in a glorious free-kick away at Stoke.
Rooney returned to Everton at the end of the 2016/17 season after 559 games for the Red Devils where he won 16 major honours.
United academy graduate Rashford is currently on 112 goals and is enjoying a stunning season since the World Cup break.
The 25-year-old has scored six goals in his last seven Premier League outings.
Rashford still has some way to go if he wants to beat Rooney’s goalscoring record[/caption]
Newcastle – Alan Shearer – 206 – March 2006
The boyhood Magpies fan joined the Toon from Blackburn in a then-British record £15m in 1996.
Despite failing to claim any silverware at St James’ Park, he banged in 206 goals from 405 matches.
His stunning form at both Blackburn and Newcastle has seen him top the all-time Premier League scoring charts with 260 goals.
And while that record is under threat from Kane, his Newcastle feat is unlikely to be matched anytime soon with Callum Wilson [27] the closest to it from the current squad.
Wilson is nowhere near Shearer’s Newcastle record of 206 goals[/caption]
Nottingham Forest – Grenville Morris – 217 – January 1903
Morris’ 120-year record has stood for longer than any other Premier League side after he scored 217 times between 1898-1913.
He played in 459 games for the Reds, while he also found the back of the net nine times in 21 outings for Wales’ national team,.
His compatriot Brennan Johnson is Forest’s top scorer from Steve Cooper’s side with 26 strikes.
The 21-year-old, who made his debut in 2019, joined the club’s academy in 2009.

Southampton – Mick Channon – 228 – September 1976

It total, he found the back of the net 228 times from 602 games – 19 more than cult hero Matt Le Tissier.

Tottenham – Harry Kane – 267 – February 2023
Academy graduate Kane broke Greaves’ long-standing record to write his place in history.
Kane established himself as a regular in the starting XI in the 2014/15 season after loan spells at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester.
There are still questions marks as to whether his long-term future lies at Spurs with the 29-year-old tied down at the club until 2024.

West Ham – Vic Watson – 326 – August 1925

He helped his side reach the FA Cup final in 1923 where Bolton emerged victorious after winning 2-0.
His closest challenger from David Moyes’ side is Michail Antonio who has 67 goals since arriving from Forest in 2015.
Antonio is the club’s all-time top Premier League scorer with 58 strikes.

Mexico international Raul Jimenez is the club’s highest active scorer with 57 goals in 158 games.
Though the 31-year-old is yet to open his account in the Premier League this campaign.
