Tottenham dented Manchester City's title ambitions at a raucous Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

England captain Harry Kane became the club's leading goalscorer, surpassing Jimmy Greaves' 266 goals, with a composed finish from 10 yards out after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg did exceptionally well to find Kane inside the box.

Fans leaped from their seats to applaud the 29-year-old striker, whose first Spurs goal came on 15 December 2011, while a message flashed up on the scoreboard inside the ground which read 'Congratulations Harry Kane'.

The 15th-minute finish was also Kane's 200th on the Premier League stage - only Alan Shearer (260 goals) and Wayne Rooney (208) have scored more.

It came against the run of play and with Spurs boss Antonio Conte recovering at home after surgery to remove his gallbladder.

Tottenham, who finished with 10 men after defender Cristian Romero was sent off in the 87th minute for two bookable offences, dug deep in their Italian manager's absence to frustrate City.

Kane later said: "My first ever Spurs goal was against Shamrock Rovers a long, long time ago, away from home. Special memories to score the first one and now to be here on 267.

“When you look at the names who have been here, to overtake Jimmy Greaves – one of the greatest to play the game – I'm extremely grateful.

"The years go by so quick so I try to take it all in. Not sure I've done that yet but my friends and family were here so it was a special time to do it."

On breaking the record in a win, he added: "We were playing one of the best teams in the league, a really important game. As a striker you always dream about scoring winners so it was just the perfect night. But my focus will be on Leicester before you know it.

"I'm feeling good. I saw Alan [Shearer, record Premier League scorer] earlier in the week. I'm sure he'll be watching but not sure if he'll be happy or not! I've got plenty of goals to come, I'm feeling good.

"Alan has set the record to beat. I'll see if I can beat it."
