Overview
- Kane scored in the 67th minute of the Panama match on Saturday to record his 11th World Cup goal and move ahead of Gary Lineker's long-standing total of 10.
- The goal doubled England's lead in a 2-0 victory at MetLife Stadium and confirmed the Three Lions as Group L winners who will face DR Congo in the round of 32.
- Broadcast reactions included Gary Lineker's on-air expletive during a live watch-along and his later public congratulations, while Kane sent Lineker a cheeky message after the match.
- Coverage linked the milestone to Kane's exceptional 2025/26 form, with outlets reporting a 61-goal season at Bayern Munich and a 70-goal total for club and country so far, which are source-reported statistics rather than independently verified here.
- Kane has now scored at three different World Cups, joining David Beckham as the only England men to do so, a feat that underlines his growing legacy for club and country.
