Tottenham striker Kane delighted passing Henry on Prem scoring charts

Tottenham striker Harry Kane was delighted with his latest landmark goals in the rout of Everton on Monday night.

Kane has revealed his delight at moving past Thierry Henry in the Premier League all-time goalscoring charts.

The Tottenham striker netted in either half during his side's 5-0 thrashing of Everton on Monday night to take his overall tally to 176 top-flight goals, and he admitted his pride at overtaking the former Arsenal frontman.

"Thierry was one of the greatest Premier League strikers we've seen, so to go above him now is a nice little milestone," Kane told Sky Sports.

Kane is up to sixth on the all-time list, but is just one goal behind Frank Lampard.

He is still 84 goals adrift of Alan Shearer's record of 260 goals, but the England captain has warned that he believes he has time on his side to surpass the ex-Newcastle forward.

"I feel like I've got plenty more years in me, so hopefully I'll keep ticking off those names, keep helping the team with my goals.

"Then we'll see where we end up," he said.
