Kane sets new England record for most World Cup goals

Harry Kane extended his record for the most goals scored for the England men’s national team at the FIFA World Cup following his header in the game against Mexico

The Three Lions captain had levelled Gary Lineker's previous record of ten World Cup goals following a brace against Croatia in England’s World Cup opener in Dallas, before his goal against Paraguay took him in front and his brace against DR Congo and then Mexico extended that further.

Kane has also levelled Lineker's record of six goals coming in the knockout stages.
