Harry Kane becomes England’s joint top goalscorer after World Cup penalty



Kane’s first spot kick came from a Tchouaméni foul on Bukayo Saka and a lengthy wait before the 29-year-old stepped up.

Kylian Mbappe interrupted Kane’s preparation with a last-second message for Kane’s Tottenham teammate Hugo Lloris.

But Kane composed himself and drilled the penalty to the left side of the goal, sending Lloris the wrong way.

It was Kane’s second goal of the tournament and takes his World Cup tally up to eight.

Gary Lineker still has the World Cup record for England with 10 goals, from his 48 overall in 80 appearances.
