The English international forward held the record for the number of goals scored in the Premier with a single club (185).
With two wins and a draw, the start of the season for Antonio Conte’s pupils is good from an accounting point of view -they are provisional leaders-, but much worse in terms of sensations.
The first half of the ‘Spurs’ was quite similar to last Sunday’s performance against Chelsea and reminded how lucky it was for them in the 2-2 final.
Tottenham was better in the second half but was threatened until the end by the ‘Wolves’.
With twice as few chances as their rival (11 against 20), and identical ball possession, the Londoners can once again say thank you, and will be able to further improve their numbers on their visit to newly promoted Nottingham Forest next weekend. .
Striker Harry Kane headed in a ball previously combed by Croatian signing Ivan Perisic from a corner (64) to score an almost identical goal to the one that led to the final tie in the match at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.
Kane goes on to hold the record for goals scored in the Premier League with a single club. With his 185th league goal for Tottenham, the 29-year-old surpasses the total of 184 goals scored by Argentine Sergio Agüero, who played for Manchester City from 2011 to 2021.
It is also Kane’s 250th goal in all competitions for Tottenham, his former club, and is 16 goals behind Jimmy Greaves, the north London club’s all-time leading goalscorer.
The third date continues this Saturday with five more games, including Bournemouth-Arsenal.
