Harry Kane has claimed to the Mail Online that he believes a game against Chelsea was the where he felt like he would make it as a top striker.
The Tottenham man broke the club record for goals yesterday in their 1-0 win over Manchester City at home.
The extraordinary record has involved goals against plenty of sides, however a healthy seven have come against Chelsea.
One of his highlights was during the Blues’ title winning season in 2014/15, when they were handed a rare loss at White Hart Lane.
Kane scored twice that day, defying goals from Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and John Terry.
He has now claimed that that day was a massive moment for him in getting to the achievement he has reached today.
Kane makes Chelsea claim
He said: “That was an important game. Chelsea at the time were one of the best teams in Europe, and top of the league. I’d done well before then and scored goals against other teams, but hadn’t done it against a big team yet.
“Not just those goals but the whole performance was one of my best performances in a Spurs shirt and that just gave me the confidence I needed to know I could do it against any team on any stage.
“I feel like that was the moment when I thought, ‘OK, I’m here to stay’. I just had to make sure I kept working hard. That’s what I’ve tried to do. Trying to be consistent, perform every year, and improve every year”
Kane has been a heartbreaker for the Blues more than enough in recent memory.
In a thrilling affair earlier this season, the England captain scored with seconds to play to see Spurs steal a point from Stamford Bridge, despite being outplayed throughout the affair.
