Harry Kane scores five goals at World Cup, joins elite company

Harry Kane has made history during the ongoing FIFA World Cup in North America by scoring five goals, solidifying his place among an elite group of players. The Bayern Munich star has surpassed Gary Lineker to become England's all-time top scorer in World Cup history with 13 goals. Not only has he managed to score in consecutive tournaments, but Kane is also just the second England player to feature in three World Cups, joining David Beckham. He previously won the Golden Boot in 2018 and has now written his name alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé as players with five or more goals in two World Cups. England’s match against DR Congo highlighted Kane's crucial scoring ability, saving the team from an early exit in the knockout stage.
