Harry Kane has stood alone as England’s all-time leading goalscorer in World Cup history after netting a goal in the Three Lions’ final group-stage match against Panama at the 2026 World Cup.
Kane Shatters Gary Lineker’s Historic World Cup Record
A trademark header from “Prince Harry” secured the second goal for the English team against Panama, ensuring his country topped a challenging group that also featured Ghana and Croatia.
Kane, who had previously scored a brace in the opening match against Croatia, has now elevated his World Cup tally to 11 goals scored across 14 matches, spanning three tournament appearances. With this strike, the 32-year-old shattered the long-standing record held by legendary forward Gary Lineker, who scored 10 World Cup goals for England.
An Extraordinary Season for the Former Tottenham Icon
This milestone extends Kane’s sensational form this season for both Bayern Munich and the England national team, bringing his staggering combined tally to 64 goals and 7 assists. These numbers reflect the extraordinary, world-class form the former Tottenham Hotspur icon is currently enjoying.
Historic Milestone: Harry Kane is also England’s absolute all-time top scorer across all international competitions, having netted an incredible 117 goals in 82 caps for the Three Lions.
