England striker Kane hit his landmark ton in 141 matches.

That compares to 124 games it took SunSport columnist Alan Shearer to achieve the feat.

Tottenham were quick to acknowledge their homegrown star's achievement.

The club tweeted: '100 @premierleague goals – congratulations from everyone at the Club to @HKane on a magnificent achievement.'

Kane's super 100 is made up of 60 strikes with his right foot, 26 with his left and 14 headers.

In the league ladder of 'Fastest Players to 100 Premier League Goals' Sergio Aguero (147), Thierry Henry (160) and Ian Wright (172) are behind Kane.

Kane's penalty in the dramatic 2-2 draw at Anfield came after Mo Salah thought he'd netted an injury time winner.

It was a fabulous finale and one that kept fans of both sides and television viewers on the edge of their seats.
