Harry Kane hailed a "magical moment" after breaking Tottenham's all-time scoring record and surpassing "complete hero" Jimmy Greaves.
The England striker surpassed Greaves' 266-goal benchmark for Spurs as his 15th-minute strike proved the difference in a 1-0 triumph over Manchester City on Sunday.
His first-half winner was also Kane's 200th Premier League goal, hitting the mark in two games fewer than Alan Shearer (306), while Wayne Rooney needed 462 matches to reach his double century.
Kane told Sky Sports: "It's a magical moment. I was so desperate to do it with a win — once we went 1-0 up, it was about the clean sheet.
"To do it in front of the fans is a special moment. There has been so much talk about it, I just wanted to get it done. So, to do it in a big game against one of the best teams in the world is special.
"[Greaves] is a complete hero, one of the best strikers to play the game, so to be in that conversation is special. And to overtake him is a huge moment for me."
Shearer's 260-goal Premier League record will be Kane's next target and the 29-year-old acknowledged he will have time for many more top-flight strikes.
"When I started playing regularly, it wasn't even in my imagination to score 200 Premier League goals," he added.
"To be there now is exciting, and I've got plenty of years left, so there will be a few more to come."
Newcastle United and England great Shearer welcomed Kane to an illustrious Premier League club after his strike left City trailing leaders Arsenal by five points and moved Spurs within one of the top four.
"Congratulations @HarryKane passing the great Jimmy Greaves record at [Tottenham]," Shearer posted on Twitter.
"Also @WayneRooney and I were wondering where you've been! Well done on joining the 200 @premierleague club."
