Harry Kane hails "fantastic year" after breaking calendar year scoring record

Harry Kane acknowledges that 2017 has been "a fantastic year" after the Tottenham Hotspur striker broke the record for Premier League goals scored in a single calendar year.

Harry Kane has admitted that 2017 has been "a fantastic year" after the Tottenham Hotspur striker broke the record for Premier League goals scored in a single calendar year.

The 24-year-old headed home his 37th league goal of 2017 on 22 minutes against Southampton on Boxing Day to surpass Alan Shearer's landmark, which was set during his time at Blackburn Rovers in 1995.

Kane then added two more either side of half time to bring his total for the year - for both club and country - to 56, two more than Barcelona and Argentina striker Lionel Messi, and secure a 5-2 win against Saints.

"I need to find a room, at the minute they are all just stored in a cupboard at home," Kane told reporters after full time.

"It has been a fantastic year. To get compared to those players - the Messis and Shearers - is what it is all about. To get another hat-trick is a great way to end the year.

"It is always about improving every year. That's what I always have done throughout my career and it is what I will continue to do.

"That is probably the only disappointing thing - that we conceded two goals - but we scored five and end the year on a high. Hopefully 2018 is even better."

Kane is also the first player in Premier League history to score six hat-tricks in a single calendar year.
