Harry Kane etched his name into England football folklore after scoring twice in the Three Lions’ thrilling 4-2 victory over Croatia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The England captain’s brace took his tally to 79 international goals and saw him equal Gary Lineker’s long-standing record as England’s highest goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history.
Lineker had held the record of 10 World Cup goals since the 1990 tournament. Kane, who won the Golden Boot at the 2018 World Cup, has now matched that feat in just 13 World Cup appearances.
