Harry Kane equals Wayne Rooney’s record for most England goals with thumping penalty in World Cup quarter-final v France
HARRY KANE made history as he equalled Wayne Rooney's England goalscoring record.
Captain Kane stepped up to convert a penalty during England's World Cup quarter-final clash against France.
It means his Three Lions goal tally now stands at 53 goals - level with former Manchester United striker Rooney.
However, while Rooney achieved the feat in 120 games, Kane has done it in just 80 caps.
Kane was the top goalscorer at the 2018 World Cup with six goals.
And while he has only scored twice so far in Qatar, he currently leads the charts for assists (3).
