Tottenham striker Harry Kane broke the record for the most Premier League goals in a calendar year by heading his 37th of 2017 against Southampton. That moved him one goal ahead of Barcelona’s Argentine master Lionel Messi and Paris St Germain’s Edinson Cavani, making him the top goalscorer in world football in 2017. The England international met Christian Eriksen’s 22nd-minute free-kick to give Spurs a 1-0 lead at Wembley and surpass Alan Shearer’s 22-year-old Premier League record. Kane’s impressive haul includes five top-flight hat-tricks and he was quickly congratulated by the man whose record he took. You deserve to hold the record of most premierleague goals in a calendar year.
