FIFA World Cup: Harry Kane has written a new chapter into his England book of records by becoming just the second man from the nation to score ten goals at the FIFA World Cup with his brace in 2026 campaign opener against Croatia.
The Three Lions captain joined Gary Lineker, who recorded his haul across a six-goal adidas Golden Boot-winning campaign at Mexico 1986, before bagging four at Italy 1990.
Kane, who trailed Lineker by two goals heading into England’s World Cup 2026 opener in Dallas, was at the double in the first half, taking him level. He netted his first from the spot in the 12th minute, becoming the first player in tournament history to score five penalties (excluding shootouts), before doubling his tally with a superb header just before the break.
