Harry Kane is doing what Harry Kane does at World Cups: scoring goals and making records look temporary. The England captain has put away three goals in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a run that has drawn him level with Gary Lineker’s all-time England record of 10 career World Cup goals.
The Croatia performance that changed the narrative
Kane’s defining moment of the tournament so far came on June 17, 2026, when England faced Croatia in Arlington, Texas. He scored twice in a 4-2 victory, once from the penalty spot and once with a header, bringing Kane to 10 career World Cup goals and tying the record that Lineker set more than three decades ago.
Kane has now become the first England player to score multiple goals at three different World Cups. He bagged six at Russia 2018, where he claimed the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer. And now, in the US, he has three goals across four appearances.
