One of the historical records of the Premier League that is close to being surpassed is that of the goals scored by Wayne Rooney in the English league throughout his career as a professional footballer, since the one that emerged at Everton who became a legend of Manchester United is about to be surpassed by Harry Kane, who this Monday scored again with Tottenham.

The Spurs striker already surpassed Rooney as the England National Team's all-time top net breaker on the recent FIFA Date in March, but now he was just three goals away from matching Rooney for second place in all-time goalscoring in the Premier League, behind Alan Shearer who is still quite a ways off.

In a match that unfortunately for Tottenham ended up being tied by Everton, Kane was in charge of putting the London team ahead from the penalty spot in the 68th minute and now he has three consecutive matches scoring in the top flight of England. Their next duels in April will be against Brighton, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Manchester United and Liverpool.

The 29-year-old striker also reached 250 goal appearances in the English league, because along with his 205 goals, he accumulates 45 assists. With this, Kane got 10 direct interventions for his team to score from those achieved by Andy Cole, legend of Manchester United and Newcastle. Other stars on this chart include Ryan Giggs, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and Alan Shearer.

Kane's scoring pace

The experienced footballer who recently joined the names that would have the possibility of reaching Real Madrid, has a streak of five consecutive games sending the ball to the back of the net, since in addition to the goals with Tottenham, with the National Team of England scored in both games of the Euro 2024 Qualifiers.
