The England international Harry Kane passed the 400-goal mark in his senior career as his brace helped Bayern Munich beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
Harry Kane moved within one of the milestones to put Bayern Munich 1-0 up after just nine minutes, coolly finishing from close range after Konrad Laimer’s pass set him up.
After Hugo Ekitike equalized for Frankfurt, Harry Kane slotted home a penalty with typical confidence after a foul on Thomas Muller to move to 400 career goals and eventually lead Bayern to victory.
Kane has scored 280 of his goals in 435 appearances for Tottenham and overtook Jimmy Greaves to become the club’s all-time top goalscorer when he scored his 267th for Spurs against Manchester City last February.
His tally of 213 Premier League goals, meanwhile, puts him just 47 behind the competition’s all-time leader Alan Shearer, who scored 260 times for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.
Harry Kane is also the most prolific player in England’s history, with his 62 goals for the Three Lions coming in 89 internationals.
He memorably missed the chance to equal Wayne Rooney’s previous record of 53 when he blazed a penalty over the bar in the Three Lions’ quarter-final defeat of France at the 2022 World Cup, only to secure his place in history in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy three months later.
The first-ever goal of Kane’s senior career came in League One while on loan with Leyton Orient as they beat Sheffield Wednesday 4–0 in January 2011.
It was the first of five goals Kane scored for the O’s, having also netted nine times on loan at Millwall in 2011-12 and twice during his spell at Leicester City the following season.
