His goal confirmed Arsenal as being Kane's favourite opponent, as this was his 14th goal against them, which is also two ahead of Rooney in terms of the player to have scored the most goals against the Gunners.
The penalty also set another record that would have given some consolation to Spurs fans.
It was Kane's 44th Premier League goal in a London derby, overtaking the 43 of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
