Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has no intention of taking his foot off the gas despite reaching 30 goals for the season.
Kane, 21, became the first Tottenham player to reach that mark since Gary Lineker during the 1991-92 campaign when he netted the third in a 3-1 Premier League victory at Newcastle on Sunday.
The England international had to wait almost a month after his 29th of the campaign to reach the milestone, but with five games to play before the end of the campaign, he is refusing to rest on his laurels.
Kane told Spurs TV: "It's great to reach that milestone. It felt like I was on 29 for ages and to be able to get to 30 now and 20 in the league is special -- and to win the game makes it even better.
"The season doesn't finish here, though. There are still five more games left and I'll be trying to get on the scoresheet in as many of those games and get as many wins as we can."
Kane's strike at St James' Park cemented a comfortable victory for the visitors on a day when the home fans staged protests against owner Mike Ashley.
Their mood was not improved when Nacer Chadli fired Spurs into a 30th-minute lead, and although Jack Colback levelled within 20 seconds of the restart, Christian Eriksen restored their advantage just seven minutes later.
The Magpies committed men to the search for an equaliser as time ran down, and Kane made the most of a lack of numbers at the back in injury-time when he raced through to beat keeper Tim Krul.
