Harry Kane has written his name in golden letters in the annals of English football, becoming England's all-time top scorer at World Cup finals with 11 goals, surpassing Gary Lineker's record of 10.
Kane scored the Three Lions' second goal against Panama in the two sides' Group Stage clash in the third and final round of the 2026 World Cup group stage.
The goal delivered another historic milestone for the England captain, who has now scored at three separate World Cup tournaments, further cementing his place as one of the most prolific strikers in the national team's history — as well as its all-time leading scorer.
Kane now stands clear at the top of England's World Cup scoring charts, ahead of Gary Lineker (10 goals), Geoff Hurst (5), and both Michael Owen and Bobby Charlton, who are level on 4 goals each.
Kane's World Cup goals have come across three tournaments: he netted 6 in Russia 2018, claiming the Golden Boot as the tournament's top scorer, added 2 at Qatar 2022, and has so far scored 3 in the current edition — including his record-breaking goal against Panama — having previously scored twice against Croatia in the opening round.
In a curious footnote, 4 of his 11 goals have come against Panama, with Kane netting 3 against the same opponents at the 2018 World Cup before adding another in 2026.
Kane's World Cup goals have been spread across Tunisia (2 goals), Panama (4 goals), Croatia (2 goals), and one goal each against Senegal, Colombia, and France.
