Harry Kanes 500 Goal Milestone Sparks Praise and Debate

Harry Kane reached 500 career goals after scoring twice for Bayern Munich, achieving the landmark 12 matches faster than Cristiano Ronaldo. He is the first English player to hit this mark and has 78 goals for England. Jason Cundy praised Kane’s all round play and said his Bundesliga title should end doubts about his world-class status for elite recognition.

When the England captain reached a historic landmark, many still felt he was not getting the respect he deserved. Harry Kane scored twice for Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen to take his career tally to 500 goals. He became the first English player to reach that figure and achieved it 12 matches faster than Cristiano Ronaldo. Kane already holds England’s all-time scoring record with 78 international goals and continues to break records in Germany after winning his first major trophy, the Bundesliga title, last season.

Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy said on talkSPORT that Kane is still being underrated despite his achievements. He praised Kane’s all-around game, highlighting his passing, link-up play, and ability to drop deep like a number 10 rather than just score goals. Drive host Andy Goldstein added that reaching 500 goals quicker than Ronaldo proves his elite status.

Cundy also noted that Kane’s trophy argument is now over after lifting the Bundesliga. With the chance to approach 100 goals for England, Kane is increasingly being discussed alongside legends like Wayne Rooney as a contender for the greatest English striker ever.
