Amid the disappointment of Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Saturday, it went largely uncelebrated that Harry Kane broke another record.
Kane's brilliant equaliser at Anfield moved him above Gareth Bale, Teddy Sheringham and himself as Spurs' highest scorer in a Premier League season, with 22 goals.
A fortnight ago, Kane confirmed his place in an elite group of five Englishmen -- alongside Robbie Fowler, Andrew Cole, Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer -- to score over 20 goals in consecutive Premier League seasons and already has as many 20-goal campaigns to his name as Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogba, Robin van Persie and Sergio Aguero.
Only Alan Shearer (7), Thierry Henry (5), Ruud van Nistelrooy (4) and Les Ferdinand (3) managed to hit that 20-goal mark more than twice in their careers and while the 22-year-old Kane has some way to go to match their feats, he went beyond the mark at a younger age than all of them.
Based on his fast start, there is reason to think Kane could eventually surpass the goal-scoring achievements of Rooney, Drogba, Van Persie and his current rival for the Premier League Golden Boot, Aguero.
While Kane has managed to score over 20 goals in his first two seasons of Premier League football, Rooney did not hit that figure until his seventh season, and sixth at Manchester United. However, the England captain was an Everton regular at 16, so by the time he scored 26 times for United in 2009-10 season, he was roughly Kane's current age.
In Rooney's first two seasons at United, he managed 27 goals in 5,259 league minutes. Kane has scored 43 in 5,412 minutes since the start of last season, and there are still six matches remaining this term.
A fairer comparison is with Rooney from 2008-10, when he scored a goal for every 134 minutes of league football. Kane still comes out on top, however, averaging a goal every 125 minutes since the start of last season.
Van Persie was a slow starter after arriving at Arsenal as a 20-year-old in 2004. It wasn't until his eighth season in the Premier League that he broke the 20-goal mark, bagging 30 on the way to winning the Golden Boot in his final season before a move to Manchester United, where he managed 26 goals the following season.
In his first two seasons in the top-flight, when the Dutchman was Kane's age, he managed just 10 goals, although he played only 2,159 minutes in total so his average of a goal every 216 minutes is not to be sniffed at.
Drogba also took time to adapt to a new league and country, managing 10 and 12 goals respectively in his first two seasons in England, although like Van Persie he was not a guaranteed starter in a star-studded Chelsea team and only managed 3,576 minutes of football before his third season, when the Ivorian hit 20 goals from 36 appearances.
Like Kane, Aguero made 34 appearances in his first season in the Premier League and scored 23 goals to Kane's 21 in roughly the same number of minutes -- unsurprising given his £35 million pricetag. But the Argentine could not match it the following season as injuries took their toll and he did not break the 20-goal mark again until last term, when he pipped Kane to the Golden Boot with a brilliant 26 strikes.
Aguero has the best minutes per goal ratio in Premier League history -- 110 to Kane's 131 -- but in his first two seasons he averaged a goal every 129 minutes, marginally worse than Kane's average of 125 since the start of last term.
Indeed, no-one has scored more goals in the English top-flight since the start of last season than Kane (43), despite the fact that he did not start a league game until November of Mauricio Pochettino's first season at Spurs and he did not score until the end of September this term, leading to accusations that he was a one-season wonder.
Based on the start he has made to his Spurs career, Kane is anything but and after just two seasons, his record is superior to a host of Premier League legends.
There is reason to think Kane -- barring injury or a move overseas -- will go on to have a career just as successful as Drogba, Van Persie, Aguero and co. in England, and he has already said that Shearer's record of 260 goals is in his sights.
