Harry Kane has scored his 200th goal in the English Premier League.
The Tottenham Hotspur attacker scored in a duel with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City - it was the only goal of the game that ended 1-0.
Kane is only ahead of Alan Shearer (260 goals) and Wanye Rooney (208) in the scoring charts.
Overall, it was Kane's 267th goal for Tottenham, making him Spurs' all-time leading scorer and overtaking Jimmy Greaves, who held the all-time high since 1970.
In the 15th minute the time had come: the goal had not been indicated.
Pierre-Emile Höjberg intercepted a weak pass from City professional Rodrigo, moved into the penalty area and passed to Kane, who hit the left corner from about ten meters from the inside right.
City didn't come back, and Cristian Romero was sent off with a yellow card.
City can't capitalize on Arsenal blunders
The goal was also relevant for the championship race.
Manchester failed to take advantage of leaders Arsenal's loss to Everton on Saturday and close the gap.
The "Gunners" (50) are still five points ahead of Manchester City (45th) - and also played one game less.
