  Tottenham wins 1-0. Man City: Harry Kane surpasses Jimmy Greaves as Spurs' all-time leading scorer with a well-taken winner, as the visitors fail to capitalise on Arsenal's shock defeat at Everton. Harry Kane breaks Jimmy Greaves' long-standing goalscoring record with 267 goals. Manchester City had a chance to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points, despite having played one more game.

The style, the panache, the finishing: I should be saying Messi was close to being Jim, he was that good. Some generations may not realise how much better he was than everyone else becau
