Kane becomes outright top scorer in north London derby as he hits 250th career goal

Tottenham captain Harry Kane became the outright top goalscorer in north London derby history with his first-half strike against Arsenal on Sunday.

The England international thumped the ball in off the underside of the crossbar to round off a counter-attack in the clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs opened up a 2-0 lead.

That was Kane s 11th goal against Spurs bitter rivals Arsenal in all competitions, seeing him overtake Emmanuel Adebayor and Bobby Smith (10 each) as the fixture s most prolific player.

Robert Pires and Alan Sunderland are next on the list, both netting eight times in the grudge match.

The powerful drive also brought up Kane s 250th career goal for club and country, with exactly 100 of those coming at home for Tottenham.
