Harry Kane Reaches 500 Career Goals, Ranked Third-Fastest This Century

He did it in 743 matches with 100 penalties, paced by 280 for Tottenham plus 126 for Bayern in 131 games.

Overview

  • Two goals in Bayern Munich’s 3-0 win at Werder Bremen on Feb. 13 delivered his 499th and 500th career strikes.
  • Kane hit the mark in his 743rd professional appearance, placing him third-fastest this century behind Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski per Transfermarkt.
  • He reached 500 in fewer games than Cristiano Ronaldo, who required 753 matches to get there.
  • His tally breaks down as 280 goals for Tottenham, 126 for Bayern, 78 for England, and 16 during early loan spells, including a total of 100 penalties.
  • He is 24 goals from 150 for Bayern and could challenge Ronaldo’s fastest-to-150-for-a-club pace if he nets 24 in his next 18 appearances, with his current scoring rate suggesting it is possible.
