England captain Harry Kane has written a new chapter in World Cup history after reaching a total of 10 goals in the tournament, equaling the long-standing record held by England legend Gary Lineker.
Kane reached the milestone after scoring twice in England’s 4-2 victory over Croatia, helping his side make a strong start to their World Cup campaign.
The achievement places him alongside Lineker, who also scored 10 World Cup goals during his career with the Three Lions.
Lineker’s record has stood for more than three decades, with the former striker famously excelling in the 1986 and 1990 World Cup tournaments.
For Kane, the feat further underlines his status as one of England’s most reliable forwards of the modern era, having consistently contributed goals across multiple World Cup campaigns.
England fans will now be eagerly watching to see whether Kane can surpass Lineker and become the outright leading World Cup scorer in the nation’s history.
