Kane surpasses Lineker to rule England's World Cup pantheon
Eleven goals and a nation’s record rewritten in Panama City. Kane’s coronation arrives with the weight of history on his shoulders.
Harry Kane etched his name into English football history by becoming the nation’s all-time leading World Cup scorer. The Bayern Munich striker struck his 11th tournament goal in England’s 2-0 victory over Panama, surpassing Gary Lineker’s long-standing record of 10. The milestone arrived in the 22nd minute, a first-half strike that silenced a packed Estadio Azteca and sent Kane past a mark set during the 1986 and 1990 editions.
