English Premier League (EPL) Tottenham striker Harry Kane (29, Tottenham) posted this on his Twitter. It was about six hours after the third round of the 2022-2023 EPL season against Wolverhampton on the 20th. Kane shook the net with a header in the 19th minute of the second half of the match, leading the team to a 1-0 victory. It was his 185th goal in his league career. Kane, who made his EPL debut in the 2012-2013 season, scored all of his 185 goals while wearing Tottenham’s jersey.
Kane broke the record for most goals scored by one club in the Premier League. Kane broke the previous record held by Sergio Aguero (34) with the opening goal on the day. Aguero scored 184 goals while playing for Manchester City. Third place in this division is Wayne Rooney (37), who scored 183 goals while playing for Manchester United.
After becoming the top scorer in one club, Kane said, “I’m proud of breaking Aguero’s record. He would not have been able to do it without the dedicated support of his teammates.” And he said, “It’s not over yet.” Having achieved the record for most goals by one club, he is now trying to challenge the record for most goals in his EPL career.
Kane’s 185 goals are the fourth-highest in EPL history. “EPL legend” Alan Shearer (52) with 260 goals, Rooney with 208 goals, and Andrew Cole (51) with 187 goals, respectively. Aguero with 184 goals is fifth. All four of them have retired, so Kane ranks first among active players. Kane is 75 goals behind Shearer. Assuming 29-year-old Kane, like Shearer, retires at 35, scoring 13 goals every season, including this season, could make him the EPL all-time top scorer. Kane has been scoring in double digits every season since the 2014-2015 season, three years after his debut. Of these, he scored more than 20 goals five times and won the ‘Golden Boot’ (EPL Top Scorer Trophy) three times.

Kane scored 114 with his right foot, 39 with his left foot and 32 with his head. Kane is right-footed. According to Opta, a football statistics media, only two players, Kane and Robin van Persie (39, retired), scored 39 or more goals in both the right and left feet in the EPL, which was launched in 1992.
Kane, who has been playing for the England national team of the ‘Three Lions Corps’ since 2015, scored 50 goals in 73 matches (international teams). He is three goals behind England national team record holder Rooney (53 goals). Kane could break Rooney’s record at the Qatar World Cup starting in November. Gary Neville (47, retired), who played for Manchester United for 19 seasons, evaluated Kane as a player who would leave a milestone in the EPL and English football history. In an interview with Football London, Neville said, “Kane is a player with a strong mental strength like Shearer. . Son Heung-min started the game against Wolverhampton on the 20th and played until the 31st minute of the second half, but the score did not explode, so he was only goalless for three consecutive games after the season started.
