Harry Kane has equalled Wayne Rooney’s England goalscoring record after netting his 53rd goal for his country in the World Cup quarter-final against France in Al Khor.
The England skipper, earning his 80th cap, smashed home a penalty to make it 1-1 after Bukayo Saka was brought down in the area.
But, with Gareth Southgate’s side trailing 2-1, he then missed the chance to break the record by blasting a second penalty over the crossbar.

Kane made his senior international debut in 2015, scoring just seconds after coming off the bench in a Euro 2016 qualifying win over Lithuania.
The 29-year-old won the Golden Boot at the 2018 World Cup, where his six goals helped England to the semi-final.
He then went on to score in each of the knockout games at Euro 2020, captaining Southgate’s side in the final as they lost on penalties to Italy.
Kane grabbed his first goal of the 2022 finals in the 3-0 win over Senegal in the last 16 and has gone on to match Rooney’s haul at Al Bayt Stadium.
