Harry Kane continues to be in outstanding form. In the English national team’s 7-0 rout of Croatia, the Bayern Munich forward was once again one of the key players. The 33-year-old contributed two goals and an assist to the decisive victory.
Kane put the Three Lions ahead just seven minutes into the game. In the second half, he added his second goal and also set up a goal for Bukayo Saka.
With his two-goal performance, the Bayern striker has now reached several remarkable milestones. Above all, his record in the England national team jersey is taking on increasingly impressive proportions.
Kane now has 89 international goals.
Kane has increased his tally for England to a total of 89 goals. This puts him in a tie for seventh place on the all-time list of the most prolific scorers in international soccer.
The Englishman is now tied with Malaysian soccer legend Mokhtar Dahari. Just ahead of Kane is a familiar face from Munich: Robert Lewandowski has scored 92 international goals for Poland. The former Bayern striker is now just three goals away from Kane’s total.
The other names at the top also illustrate the heights Kane has now reached. Romelu Lukaku has 94 goals for Belgium, and India’s Sunil Chhetri has 95. Cristiano Ronaldo leads the rankings with 146 goals, ahead of Lionel Messi with 125 and Ali Daei with 108.
Kane has thus not only further solidified his status as England’s all-time leading scorer. The Bayern star is also steadily climbing the global all-time scoring list.
Historic Away Streak for Kane
But that’s not all. Kane is the first English international since 1948 to score in six consecutive away games for the Three Lions.
His current form is also exceptional. In his last eight matches for Bayern Munich and the English national team, Kane has been directly involved in a total of 13 goals. He scored ten of them himself and set up three more.
The 7-0 victory over Croatia was yet another stellar performance. England was already leading 4-0 at halftime, and Kane added his second goal after the break.
This is also good news for Bayern Munich. Despite the grueling schedule during the international break, Kane continues to be in absolute top form. His impressive scoring streak continues—and with Lewandowski, the next Bayern legend is already within striking distance on the all-time international goalscoring list.
