Kane Excited To Break Shearer’s Goal Record
Harry Kane is excited after he shattered Alan Shearer’s 22-year-old goal-record for the highest goals scored in a calendar year.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker bagged a hat-trick in Tuesday’s 5-2 win over Southampton.
With the goals, the English forward has now emerged the highest goalscorer in Europe for 2017.
Kane’s 56 goals put him ahead of Lionel Messi (54), Edinson Cavani (53), Robert Lewandowski (53) and Cristiano Ronaldo (53).
The striker, while speaking after the game, thanked his teammates for their support.
He also promised to take them out for dinner.
“It was hard not to think about it, being level going into the game. I wanted to win the game, but of course I wanted to score as a striker. Getting that record was a great feeling,” Kane told BBC Sport.
“It has been a fantastic year. To get compared to those players – the Messi’s and Shearer’s – is what it is all about. To get another hat-trick is a great way to end the year.
“I’ve improved physically – recovery for games, getting ready for each game, eating right and ice baths. I feel good and sharp and at my best at this busy period.
“They are fantastic players here. It’s fantastic to play with them. We’re a hard team to stop and I said to them before the game to try and set me up and they did that, so I’ll have to take them out for dinner.”
