Harry Kane
Harry Kane has equalled the England scoring record, moving alongside Wayne Rooney with his 53rd goal in the World Cup quarter-final against France.
Kane joined Rooney on Saturday after converting a second-half penalty in Qatar.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker scored his first England goal 79 seconds into his debut in 2015 - the year before Rooney netted his last.
Kane, 29, has achieved his tally at a remarkable rate, with his latest coming on just his 80th cap.
He coolly drilled into the bottom corner from 12 yards against France to make it 1-1.
Kane has been in stellar form for England since March 2021, scoring 21 times in 29 games, including seven in the space of four days in World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino in November last year.
He now jointly leads a group of six Englishmen to have scored more than 40 goals for the Three Lions. (BBC)
