Harry Kane was the hero once again for England as he scored twice late on to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat in the 2026 World Cup round of 32 match against DR Congo on Wednesday, taking his goalscoring to new heights.
With his goals in the 75th and 86th minutes granting England a 2–1 victory in Atlanta, Kane overtook the great Pelé on the all-time World Cup goalscoring charts. England’s captain now has 13 across three tournaments, one more than the Brazilian legend, and will have his eye on becoming the first-ever player to claim two World Cup Golden Boots.
