Harry Kane broke Gary ​Lineker's 36-year-old record to become England's all-time ‌top scorer at World Cups on Saturday, adding another line to his extraordinary resume with his 11th goal ​at the quadrennial showpiece as the Three ​Lions won Group L.

Kane drew level with ⁠Lineker's mark during England's opening win over Croatia ​and made the record his own in front ​of an ecstatic crowd at New York New Jersey Stadium, heading a goal off a fine assist from Jude ​Bellingham.

"It’s an honour to play with him. For ​me he’s the best England player of all time," said ‌Bellingham, ⁠after the 2-0 win over Panama. "He’s the one who has showed up more than anyone, any England player. It’s quite easy to play with him. ​In all ​honesty he’s ⁠at a level at the minute which is just incredible.

"You don’t doubt him ​at all in terms of whether ​he’s ⁠involved or not you know he’s going to make a difference."

England will play one of the eight ⁠best ​third-placed teams in the Round ​of 32 on Wednesday.
