HARRY KANE surpassed Sergio Aguero's one-club Premier League goals record after scoring the winner against Wolves to fire Tottenham to the top of the league.
Two days after the 10th anniversary of his top-flight debut, the England captain scored his 185th top flight goal for Spurs after he was third time lucky with a string of headers.
The visitors were the better side in the first half and even though Spurs were much improved after the break, boss Bruno Lage will feel hard done by not to have claimed a point.
But by winning their third game of the season, Tottenham went top of the Premier League – just like last season.
We all remember what happened next under former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
If Antonio Conte is to keep them up there this time, they will have to play better, and for longer, than this.

Just as at Chelsea the previous weekend, Tottenham were poor in the first half.
Wolves looked like the home team and created a number of half chances.
Daniel Podence fluffed the best of them after Emerson Royal’s botched clearance and debutant Matheus Nunes sent a cute header fractionally wide.

Spurs did not have an effort on goal until the 45th minute when Ivan Perisic finally escaped the attentions of Pedro Neto for the first time.
The Croatian, making his first start, put in a fine cross, Kane produced an even better header but Jose Sa tipped the ball behind for a corner.
The mild booing from the home fans at half time was deserved.
