Summary

Harry Kane reached his 73rd goal of the 2025/26 season as England beat Mexico to advance to the World Cup quarter-finals. This total includes six goals scored at the current tournament. Kane's performance marks the second-most prolific season for a footballer in the 21st century, trailing only Lionel Messi's 82 goals in the 2011/12 season.
