Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has become the third player to score 200 Premier League goals following his strike in Sunday's match against Manchester City.
Kane's landmark goal came in the 15th minute against City, when he latched on to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's pass to fire home at the first attempt into the bottom corner.
Congratulations, @HKane 🎉

Kane is eight goals behind Rooney and 60 goals away from joining Shearer as the leading Premier League goalscorer of all time.
With 16 matches remaining for him this season, Kane will have his sights set on surpassing Rooney's record.
And at just 29, Kane, who will be presented with an Oracle Milestone to mark his achievement, has time on his side in his pursuit of Shearer.
As he said: "To be there now is just exciting, and I’ve got plenty of years left so hopefully there are a few more to come."
