Kane reaches 100 Premier League goals with dramatic Anfield penalty
Harry Kane's 100th Premier League strike arrived during a breathless finale to Tottenham's 2-2 draw at Liverpool.
Tottenham's Harry Kane scored his 100th Premier League goal in extraordinary fashion on Sunday, netting a penalty in injury time to earn a 2-2 draw at Liverpool eight minutes after missing the chance to win the match from the spot.
Only Alan Shearer (124) has reached the milestone in fewer games than Kane (141).
Having trailed to Mohamed Salah's third-minute opener at Anfield, Spurs equalised courtesy of a stunning long-range strike from Victor Wanyama in the 80th minute.
With three minutes remaining in normal time, Kane steered a tame penalty straight at Loris Karius in the Liverpool goal and then watched on helpless as Salah netted a stunning second at the opposite end of the field, seemingly snatching back all three points for the Reds.
A final twist afforded Kane a second opportunity from 12 yards out to bring up the personal milestone, though, referee Jonathan Moss awarding another penalty against Virgil van Dijk for a foul on Erik Lamela.
This time Kane made no mistake, picking out the bottom corner in the 95th minute to make it 2-2 and cap off a remarkable conclusion to the contest.
