• Bayern star Kane scores 400th senior goal

  Harry Kane surpassed the 400-goal mark for his senior career as his double helped Bayern Munich beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.

  Kane moved within one of the milestone as he put Bayern 1-0 up after just nine minutes, coolly finishing from close range after Konrad Laimer's pass had set him up.

  Then, after Frankfurt levelled through Hugo Ekitike, Kane slotted home a penalty with typical aplomb following a foul on Thomas Muller to move himself onto 400 career goals and ultimately lead Bayern to victory.

  Kane scored 280 of his goals in 435 appearances for Tottenham, overtaking Jimmy Greaves to become the club's all-time leading scorer when he netted for the 267th time in Spurs colours against Manchester City last February.

  His tally of 213 Premier League goals, meanwhile, puts him just 47 behind the competition's all-time leader Alan Shearer, who scored 260 times for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.

  Kane is also the most prolific player in England's history, his 62 goals for the Three Lions coming in 89 international appearances. 

  He memorably missed the chance to surpass Wayne Rooney's previous record of 53 when he blazed a penalty over the crossbar in the Three Lions' quarter-final defeat to France at the 2022 World Cup, only to clinch his place in history in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy three months later.

  The very first goal of Kane's senior career came in League One during a loan spell with Leyton Orient as they thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 in January 2011.

  That was the first of five goals Kane scored in O's colours, while he also netted nine times in a loan spell with Millwall in 2011-12 and twice during a stint with Leicester City the following season.

• Bellingham alone won't win Euros for England - Desailly

  England cannot rely on Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham alone to win them the Euro 2024 crown, according to France great Marcel Desailly.

  Bellingham has enjoyed a sensational debut campaign at Madrid that has seen him score 21 goals in all competitions and assist eight more.

  Despite still being aged just 20, the youngster will already have the weight of a nation on his shoulders in the European Championship finals.

  Desailly is a big fan of Bellingham, but he suggests Gareth Southgate may have to consider tweaking formation if England are to succeed.

  "Too much quality can kill the quality," Desailly told Stats Perform. "This is your problem, you see? 

  "All the players have to be able to perform at the same time and help each other. The Dutch have had this kind of problem in the past.

  "The Dutch always have high levels of expertise, but every time it was difficult for them to all unite together at the same time and perform.

  "The talent is there for England, even though Fabio Capello has said their defence is a bit weak, which I agree with.

  "But too much quality kills the quality. Let's see how the coach is able to adjust the side and make certain choices.

  "He may have to remove some of the players into a different tactical system to protect the team for the performances needed."

  Bellingham's latest goal came in added time to earn Real Madrid a 3-2 win over Barcelona in a thrilling Clasico clash last weekend.

  He is already being mentioned as a frontrunner to win this year's Ballon d'Or, which could depend on how England perform in the Euros.

  The ex-Borussia Dortmund ace is also being likened to one of the all-time greats in Zinedine Zidane, but Desailly says there is a long way to go.

  "In the game against Barcelona, he wasn't outstanding yet he was still key for his team," the World Cup 98 and Euro 2000 winner said.

  "Carlo Ancelotti took Vinicius Junior off because he knew what Bellingham could give him in that position. 

  "He also has the legs to defend and score the killer goal, or use his cleverness for the collective of the team.

  "He's a good player. But trying to compare him to Zidane? It is difficult for us to accept he could be at that level.

  "There are differences between them, but the potential of the talents is quite similar."

• Huddersfield boss Andre Breitenreiter refusing to give up fight for survival

  Huddersfield manager Andre Breitenreiter insists his side have to continue believing they can beat the drop from the Championship, despite a 4-0 defeat at home to Swansea leaving them two points from safety with just two matches left to play.

  Second-half goals from Jamal Lowe, Ronald, Jerry Yates and Liam Walsh condemned the Terriers to a fifth loss in their last 10 outings – a run which includes just one win.

  Huddersfield’s penultimate game of the season sees them welcome Birmingham – the team currently directly above them in the league table – to the John Smith’s Stadium in what is likely to be a decisive encounter in the battle against relegation.

  And Breitenreiter is refusing to give up hope that they can retain their Championship status.

  “We have to stay in the league, but it’s a hard fight,” he said.

  “We need the people around the team, we need one group on the pitch, and when it’s not like this, you’ll never have a chance to stay in the league.

  “Teams will go down when they’re not together. This is the truth in every country.

  “So we have to stay together and yes there’s frustration – that’s totally clear today – but it’s done from Monday and then we have to prepare and to think positive.

  “It’s hard maybe to say, but we have to believe that it’s possible.

  “We have to come to the stadium next week and to give everything for the three points, because then we’d be one point above Birmingham.”

  Although the four goals came from the 73rd minute onwards, Breitenreiter was disappointed with his team’s performance from the outset as they failed to register a shot on target all game.

  “We didn’t start the game good and we knew about the quality and ball possession of Swansea, their identity,” the German added.

  “But the distances from the defenders to the strikers were not very good – it was a bit too big.

  “We didn’t press as a team, individual players didn’t execute the plan we’d discussed before.

  “We weren’t near to 100 per cent as a group – we have to speak honest about this – and it wasn’t good enough.”

  Swansea boss Luke Williams was thrilled with his side’s display as they made it three wins on the bounce without conceding a goal.

  “I think it was a very tough game because Huddersfield have such clear motivation for the game, and I thought they approached it really well,” he said.

  “And I’ve worked with at least three of the players in the squad and I know they have a lot of quality.

  “But I think when we made the breakthrough, of course, they have to try to get back on terms and then it leaves more space at the back of the pitch.

  “That’s the moment that you have to try to capitalise and I think we’ve been guilty at times of scoring and then trying to protect the lead.

  “We had this probably earlier on in the season. We had a big problem with conceding a goal not long after we’d scored the first one, so we’ve improved from that and today we were ruthless.”

  Lowe, Yates and Walsh all scored from the bench, something which was particularly pleasing for Williams.

  “Everyone’s there fighting for everything, and then you make changes and those guys affect the game in a really positive way,” he added.

  “When you get that as the head coach, you’re very fortunate.”
