Kane's 100 Premier League goals: The Opta breakdown

Harry Kane brought up a century of Premier League goals with a nerveless 95th-minute penalty in Sunday's 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Tottenham.

The Spurs star had missed from the spot just eight minutes earlier in a thrilling Anfield finale which also saw Mohamed Salah and Victor Wanyama score sensational goals.

With triple figures now in the bag, we analyse the Opta data behind Kane's ton...

 

100 - Kane is Spurs' top-scorer in the Premier League. Teddy Sheringham (97) and Jermain Defoe (91) are in his wake.

141 - Only Premier League all-time record scorer Alan Shearer (124 matches) reached 100 goals in fewer games than Kane.

24 - The England man is the third-youngest player to hit three figures (24 years, 191 days) after Wayne Rooney, Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen.

8 - Kane has eight Premier League hat-tricks to his name. Shearer (11) and Fowler (9) are the only players with more.

18.05 - Kane has taken 554 shots in his Premier League career, giving him a lethal conversion rate of almost one in five.

1 - Only one of Kane's goals has come from a direct free-kick, but that strike against Aston Villa in November 2014 was a pivotal one in launching his star under Mauricio Pochettino.

14 - Dele Alli has assisted more of Kane's goals than any team-mate. Christian Eriksen has set up 13.

16 - Kane's last-gasp Anfield goal was the 16th time he has scored in the final 15 minutes of a Premier League game. Eight of those have come beyond the 90th minute.
