Harry Kane netted his 250th goal for Tottenham Hotspur as the club defeated Wolverhampton in the English Premier League on Saturday. 

Spurs remained undefeated in the EPL this season, narrowly securing a 1-0 win over Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Wolves put up a brilliant display in the first half as both sides worked hard but went into the first half break without a goal. 

Kane’s 64th-minute goal, however, separated both sides, winning all three points for the home team. 

It also made Spurs the fifth team to score 1,000 goals at home in the English Premier League since 1992. 

The England striker, who has now scored 185 goals for Spurs in the EPL, also became the player with most goals for one club in EPL history, breaking Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero’s record of 184 goals. 

With seven points in three games, Spurs have moved to the top of the EPL log, pending outcomes of other games to be played by Manchester City and Arsenal this weekend.
