Top Premier League goalscorers ever: Mo Salah overtakes Thierry Henry record for direct goal involvements

Tottenham Hotspur talisman Son Heung-min moved further up the list of the Premier League's leading goalscorers of all time courtesy of his strike in the 5-0 rout of Southampton on Sunday.

The South Korean forward was one of Spurs' many standout performers in a ruthless first half at St Mary's as Ange Postecoglou's side put their relegation-bound hosts to the sword, scoring all five of their goals in the opening 45 minutes.

Son grabbed the second of those to move up to 125 Premier League goals in total, level with former Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City striker Nicolas Anelka.

However, the Spurs man has reached his tally in only 316 games - almost 50 fewer matches than it took Anelka.

Son will next have his sights set on overtaking Robbie Keane (126) and Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink (127) in the all-time standings, although he must chase down Leicester City's Jamie Vardy in order to break into the top 15.

Son's two assists also saw him equal a club record in the Premier League and brought him up to 193 direct goal involvements in total - more than the likes of Michael Owen, Paul Scholes and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Here, Sports Mole takes a deep dive into the record of every player to have scored more than 100 goals in the Premier League.
