Harry Kane toppled all-time great Alessandro Del Piero to claim a Champions League goalscoring record on Tuesday evening.
The striker struck twice in our 4-2 win against Olympiacos to become the quickest player to reach 20 goals in Europe's elite competition.
Harry, 26, reached the 20-goal mark in 24 appearances. Italian legend Del Piero - World Cup winner (Italy, 2006), Champions League winner (Juventus, 1996) and three-times runner-up, six-time Serie A winner, Juve's all-time top goalscorer - reached 20 goals in 26 appearances back in 1998.

Harry - first to 30 for us in Europe
Harry Kane reached another notable milestone for the Club against Olympiacos.
His second goal to complete our comeback from 2-0 down to 4-2 winners - securing our place in the knockout phase - took his European goals tally to 30.
Already our all-time record goalscorer in Europe, Harry becomes the first player to score 30 goals in Europe for the Club.
His first goal in Europe was also his first for the Club against Shamrock Rovers in the group stage of the Europa League at the Tallaght Stadium, Dublin, back on 15 December, 2011.
He went on to score 10 goals in 31 appearances in the Europa League and as detailed above, now has 20 in 24 in the Champions League.
