Tottenham star Harry Kane cemented his place in the history books on Thursday night as he became England's all-time men's leading goalscorer, bagging his 54th goal and breaking Wayne Rooney's original record of 53. It was a special moment for the Three Lions captain, who had a chance to earn the record at the World Cup in December, but missed a crucial penalty against France in the quarter-finals.
After being awarded a spot-kick against Italy in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the striker made no mistake as he fired the ball beyond Gianluigi Donnarumma. England went on to win the game in less comfortable fashion than there first-half display would have suggested, but the headlines were all about Kane.
"It means everything," The 29-year-old told Channel 4 after the victory. "I was so excited to get the England shirt back on. It's a great night. We haven't won in Italy for so long so it's a special night."
