Kane, 24, bagged a hat-trick as the Three Lions thumped Panama 6-1 to book their spot in the knockout stages.

After witnessing the masterclass, Ronaldo shared a picture of himself and Kane morphed into one.

And the image even included the Brazilian's infamous haircut from the 2002 World Cup - which had a very bizarre reason behind it.

The retired striker shared the image of "Kanaldo" with his 11.8 million followers on Instagram.

Kane is the leading goalscorer in Russia, with five goals from his opening three matches.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku are close behind the Tottenham talisman with four goals each.

But the England striker has a lot to do before he breaks Miroslav Klose's record of 16 goals in the competition.

Ronaldo, who lifted the trophy twice with Brazil, scored 15 goals across three World Cups.
