Tottenham's Harry Kane Overtakes Messi And Sets Premier League Record!

Harry Kane grabbed another hat-trick and broke the record for the most Premier League goals scored in a calendar year as Tottenham thrashed Southampton at Wembley.
The Spurs and England striker headed home his 37th league goal of 2017 on 22 minutes to surpass Alan Shearer's landmark, which was set during his time at Blackburn in 1995.
Kane then added two more either side of half-time to bring his total for the year - for both club and country - to 56, two more than Barcelona and Argentina striker Lionel Messi.
Kane's tally breaks a seven-year run of either Messi or Ronaldo finishing as the top scorer for club and country while playing in Europe's top five leagues.
"I'm very proud," Kane said of finishing above his La Liga rivals. "Messi and Ronaldo have dominated football for so long and they're two of the greatest players ever so it's an honour to even be compared to them.
