Tottenham striker Harry Kane closing on two more scoring records

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is closing on two more goalscoring records.

Kane is only four short of half a century of goals for club and country in 2017 and trails Alan Shearer's record of 36 Premier League goals in a calendar year by just seven.

"I missed a few games in that time with injury," said Kane, who scored his first goal for a month at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

"I went two or three games without scoring and the fact people mention it shows the high standards I have set myself.

"That's fine with me. I want to score in every game."
