It was in added time in the first half that Kane turned and went sideways just outside the penalty area and placed the ball in the right corner.

- It was nice to reach that goal today and be equal with him.

I'm ready for the next chance and opportunity when it comes and it's something I look forward to.

I will continue to work hard and hope the goal will come, Kane told Spurs Play on their own website.

The legendary Jimmy Greaves scored 266 goals in 379 games for Tottenham between 1961 and 1970 and still holds the club record with 37 goals in one season.

Greaves passed away in September 2021, aged 81.

Have the Champions League in sight

Kane needed 415 games to reach his goals.

- It was a tough game and three very important points for us after the last two losses, says Kane, whose Spurs have only won two of the last six games in the league.

- We wanted to get back to the basics and keeping a clean sheet will be important for us if we want to reach the Champions League, Kane continues.

Tottenham are fifth in the table and are three points clear of fourth-placed Manchester United - where the last Champions League spot is.

Dejan Kulusevski played almost the whole match - substituted in extra time.
