Following Saturday’s north London derby against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Tottenham striker Harry Kane holds two Premier League records, despite still coming out on the losing end.
Halfway through the game, Richarlison was fouled by Gabriel, and Kane converted the resulting penalty to tie the score.
He became the first player in the Premier League’s 30-year history to score 100 away goals when he scored his 100th goal in the league. He has 190 points overall, so he has scored less frequently at home.
Comparatively speaking, Alan Shearer only scored 88 of his Premier League-record 260 goals on the road; the remaining 172 came from home, whether it was Ewood Park or St. James’ Park. Kane had already scored the most away goals in the Premier League going into Saturday’s game.
Kane’s penalty also gave him the distinction of being the Premier League’s top scorer in all London derbies, which is another record. With his 44th goal against a rival London team, he has now outscored Thierry Henry, who had 43 goals in city rivalries.
With his 11th and 12th goals against Arsenal in May of last year, Kane had already surpassed the previous record of 10 goals he shared with Emmanuel Adebayor and Bobby Smith to become the all-time leading scorer in north London derbies. This was his thirteenth penalty, so.
