Arsenal reject Afobe knocks Tottenham's Kane off top of scoring charts

Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been knocked off his goalscoring perch by an Arsenal reject!

Former Arsenal striker Benik Afobe became the outright leading scorer in English football on Saturday during Wolves' defeat to Birmingham.

The 22-year-old took his tally for the season to 30 in the 2-1 defeat at St. Andrews, moving one goal clear of Tottenham star Kane.

Afobe scored 19 goals while on loan at MK Dons in the first half of the season - notably scoring twice as the Dons knocked Manchester United out of the League Cup in August.

He signed permanently for Wolves in January from the Gunners.
