Tottenham 1-0 Wolves: Kane’s 250th Goal gives Spurs Edgy Win

Harry Kane Tottenham

Harry Kane scored his 250th goal for Tottenham as Antonio Conte’s team survived a wobbly first half to beat Wolves 1-0.

Kane, who headed home the winner on 64 minutes after a flick-on by Ivan Perisic, now holds the Premier League record for most goals scored for a single club (185) – one more than Sergio Aguero. He is 75 behind Alan Shearer’s overall record of 260.

Conte paid tribute to Kane’s achievement but stressed the importance of team accolades over personal ones as Spurs go hunting for major honours this season.

Conte said: “I know very well that Harry would like to exchange his personal achievements for a trophy and he is working very hard for this.

“We are talking about a world-class striker but what makes me happy is not only with the ball that we have a top scorer, we have a player that is involved and works a lot for the team”.

The dominant showing by Tottenham after the break contrasted with the first 45 minutes where Wolves posted 12 shots to Tottenham’s one – although much of the away team’s play lacked quality with the final touch.

Some sections of the home fans booed their team off at half-time but Conte rallied his troops to the desired reaction with Kane hitting the crossbar with another header before his goal, and Heung-Min Son striking a post.
