Twitter erupts as Harry Kane breaks yet another Premier League record

Harry Kane has now scored 56 goals in a single calendar year

The final whistle blew and it ended 5-2 at the Wembley. Yet another day, yet another hattrick for Harry Kane. The England international also finally broke Alan Shearer's record in the process.

Harry Kane has now become the 1st player to score 37 goals in a calendar year. The 2nd goal helped him score the most number of competitive goals for club and country in Europe's top 5 leagues in 2017 - 56! And the 3rd and final goal was the icing on the cake. Kane has now scored 8 hat-tricks in 2017.

As always, the Twitterati couldn't hold back its excitement and praised the England striker. We bring you some of the best tweets.

He actually spoke the truth

Harry Kane would be a Ballon d'Or favourite had he broken such a record with a club like Real Madrid but with Spurs he won't even make FIFA best XI list.

Please pray for Alan Shearer

Congratulations to @HKane on breaking the record for most Premier League goals scored in a calendar year. Thoughts are with @alanshearer at this difficult time.

Surely he can do it for England this time, right?

All over the country there are people in pubs, debating Harry Kane, saying...

"Yeah but has he done it in a World Cup?"

You’ve had a magnificent 2017 @HKane. You deserve to hold the record of most @premierleague goals in a calendar year. Well done and keep up the good work. ???????

Kane still has work to do

If Harry Kane keeps working hard like this, then one day he might reach Giroud level...

Probably the only thing Kane will get this season

A stunning insight into Harry Kane's interior design in his interview. The match balls from hat-tricks are currently in a cupboard. He might get some glass boxes for them. Stay tuned, folks.

That's got to hurt. Ouch

Spurs fan in 2065: I remember Harry Kane. What a player he was!

Grandson: Wow, did he help Spurs win trophies?

Spurs fan: No. But he was one of our own.
