Harry Kane will wear commemorative football boots against Arsenal on Saturday to mark his 100th Premier League goal.

The England international struck a last-minute penalty against Liverpool on Sunday to reach a century of goals in the English top flight.

Taking just 141 games, Kane became the second-fastest player to reach the milestone behind former England striker Alan Shearer, who took 124 matches to rack up a ton.

The Spurs star had earlier seen a spot-kick, controversially awarded after he went over Loris Karius' challenge, saved by the German keeper but tucked away a second chance from 12 yards to salvage a point and reach three figures.

Pochettino, Spurs team-mates and members of the club's non-playing staff presented Kane with the footwear after his 100th Premier League goal in the draw at Anfield on Sunday.

Here is a statistical look at the England striker's century...

20 - Kane has passed 20 Premier League goals for the fourth consecutive Premier League season, a feat only previously achieved by Shearer, between 1993 and 1997, and Thierry Henry for five seasons between 2001 and 2006.

39 - He broke Shearer's record for Premier League goals in a calendar year with his tally in 2017. Shearer scored 36 in 1995.
