Anthony Gordon hailed Harry Kane as "phenomenal" after the captain’s two-goal turnaround against DR Congo kept England’s World Cup hopes alive. The winger orchestrated the comeback, providing the assists for both strikes that salvaged a vital result for the Three Lions. Kane’s clinical display turned a precarious situation into a victory, underscoring his enduring value to the national setup during a critical phase of the tournament.

England looked in danger of stumbling, with DR Congo’s physicality and quick transitions exposing gaps in the Three Lions’ backline. Gordon did not hold back in his post-match assessment, drawing a high-profile parallel to global royalty to illustrate the magnitude of Kane's impact.
