Ranked: All 11 of Harry Kane’s World Cup goals for England after striker breaks Gary Lineker’s record

Harry Kane now stands alone as England’s greatest striker. Already the country’s top scorer, he now stands alone as England’s strongest performer at the World Cup

Gary Lineker had held this record for 36 years, but Kane has now put in a clear performance, scoring 11 goals in three tournaments.

Kane, who equalized the record in England’s opening match of the 2026 World Cup, had to wait 205 minutes to pass Lineker. He netted in the 67th minute against Panama, winning Group L and drawing with the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the last 32 rounds.

Daily Mail Sports New York lists Kane’s World Cup goals after a record-breaking night in New Jersey:

11. 3rd goal against Panama (Russia, 2018)

If there was an award for his weirdest goal, this one would win it. Kane inadvertently completed his hat-trick as Ruben Loftus-Cheek shot from distance and the ball hit the back of his leg and beat Jaime Penedo.

All important, but this wasn’t worthy of any style points.

10. First goal against Croatia (United States, Mexico and Canada, 2026)

Kane’s fifth World Cup penalty goal made him the highest-earning player in World Cup history.

This was not one of his most convincing attempts, as Dominik Livakovic saved the ball slightly to the left but was still left too far in the middle after a stuttering run.

But pick the violations; While Livakovic was off the line, Josko Gvardiol entered the penalty area.

A retake was ordered and Kane showed his nerves of steel to go the same way, expertly attacking the bottom corner. Have you ever had any doubts?

9. First goal against Panama (Russia, 2018)

It was executed amiably. The penalty was kicked into the top corner. He ranked lower than some of the penalties he took because he earned them himself or because they were higher pressure moments.

8. Goal against Colombia (Russia, 2018)

Davinson Sanchez was unable to handle Kane’s move as his corner kick entered the box and brought him down.

He coldly parted right in the middle. He led England in the last 16 of the World Cup. A crucial goal in the draw England eventually won on penalties.

7. 2nd goal against Panama (Russia, 2018)

A convincing penalty hit the top right corner. The finish was almost identical to his previous spot-kick in the same match. However, this time he showed his difference by winning the penalty himself.

6. Goal against France (Qatar, 2022)

This match will always be remembered for its heartbreak, but the country will always cherish the moment when Kane equalized against France in the World Cup quarter-final, which sparked great hope. A pressure penalty that suits that moment.

Of course, it wasn’t meant to be and Kane’s stunning penalty into the top corner will always be overshadowed by his subsequent miss. What could happen?

5. First goal against Tunisia (Russia, 2018)

It was a simple finish for someone of Kane’s quality, but he still needed to get into position to score. John Stones’ header was blocked by Tunisia goalkeeper Mouez Hassen.

However, Kane positioned himself well and showed excellent instincts to get into a position where he could strike freely with his right foot; It was a shrewd gamble.

His first goal in the World Cup. Monumental.

4. 2nd goal against Tunisia (Russia, 2018)

Strikers should pay attention to Kane’s movements on set pieces. This was a goal that involved more specialized movement, finding and occupying space. Kieran Trippier’s delivery was met by Harry Maguire, who struck Kane in space at the back post.

He bought himself time and beat Tunisia in injury time by just heading past the near post, ensuring a victorious start to England’s 2018 season as they progressed to the semi-finals. If England had not won that match it could have been a very different tournament.

3. 2nd goal against Croatia (United States, Mexico and Canada, 2026)

Kane’s brilliance was on full display as he added his second goal of what he hopes will be a fruitful 2026 World Cup.

His textbook run to the penalty spot allowed him to meet Declan Rice’s swinging corner unnoticed and send his header into the bottom corner.

2. Goal against Panama (United States, Mexico and Canada, 2026)

This goal will be very meaningful for Kane. This isn’t his best, though.

Record holder. He was already England’s best striker, 29 goals behind the Three Lions’ all-time top scorer Wayne Rooney. But England’s World Cup top scorer adds another level of quality.

Kane followed up an excellent cross from Jude Bellingham from the left, got in front of the defender and glanced his header into the top corner from six yards. It was a relatively simple finish but this goal showed his sharpness. Despite the pressure of the record staring him in the face.

A rare open-place goal for Kane in the World Cup, but what a good time to score. The spotlight is now on him trying to extend his dominance at the top and add the World Cup trophy to his historic spell as England’s No.9.

1. Goal against Senegal (Qatar, 2022)

8 of the 11 goals he scored in the World Cup came from set pieces. This was definitely the showiest moment.

It took some time for Kane to find the back of the net in Qatar, but he couldn’t have found a better way to open his account.

England’s top scorer completed a superb counter-attacking move initiated by Bellingham, who carried the ball deep into the Senegal half before finding Cole Palmer.

Palmer’s soft square pass found Kane and the England captain curled his right-footed shot past Edouard Mendy to give England their second place in the last 16.

Brilliance in the counter attack.
