Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has become the highest-scoring player in Premier League North London derbies courtesy of his ninth goal against Arsenal.
Kane sent Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno the wrong way from the penalty spot to level things up at Wembley after Aaron Ramsey had opened the scoring for the Gunners during this afternoon's Premier League clash.
The spot kick saw Kane move out on his own as the most prolific goalscorer in the derby from the Premier League era, surpassing former Spurs and Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
However, the goal was not without controversy as replays showed that Kane had strayed offside from a free kick before he was bundled over by Shkodran Mustafi inside the area.
