Kane scores 200 in 300
Harry Kane marked his 300th appearance for Tottenham with his 200th goal as Jose Mourinho's side dominated a Europa League mismatch in Bulgaria.
Kane, 27, long-since cemented his place in the Spurs history books but few could have predicted his prodigious goalscoring rate when he came into the first team seven years ago.
Only 1960s legends Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Smith stand ahead of him in the club's records and if he stays fit - and at the club - the England captain looks set to break record after record.
He could, and should, have already scored twice when he headed in a Lucas Moura corner to put Mourinho's side ahead against Ludogorets.
Kane then set up Moura for Spurs' second before being replaced at the interval as the Premier League side utterly dominated the multiple Bulgarian champions.
That was an anomaly though, as Giovani lo Celso's tap-in secured a routine victory that puts Spurs back in contention in Group J.
Two hundred in 300 games, 101 in his last 135, 100 away from home - Kane's goalscoring record bears comparison with the all-time greats.
Next in his sights at Tottenham is 1961 double-winner Smith, who scored 208 times between 1955 and 1964, with overall record holder Greaves at least another season away on 266.
The Ludogorets defence had no answer to Kane's ability, but did see an uncharacteristic early miss with the striker blazing over after a fine pass from Harry Winks.
