Harry Kane (38) sets a new Premier League record for most goals in a single calendar year. The previous record was 36 by Alan Shearer in 1995. 

He is also Europe’s leading scorer from 2017 – ahead of Barcelona’s Lionel Messi. Messi has 54 goals from 63 appearances in all competitions. For Kane, it is 56 from 52.

 

Top 5 this year:

  • Harry Kane | Goals: 56 | Games 52 
  • Lionel Messi | Goals: 54 | Games 64 
  • Cristiano Ronaldo | Goals: 53 | Games 59 
  • Robert Lewandowski | Goals: 53 | Games 55 
  • Edinson Cavani | Goals: 53 | Games 62

Džeko was the last player to outscore Messi and Ronaldo in a single calendar year (2009). Pretty amazing from Kane.
