England’s Harry Kane thanks teammates after winning World Cup Golden Boot

Harry Kane thanked his England teammates after emulating Gary Lineker by winning the Golden Boot award at the World Cup.

Six goals were enough for Kane to claim the award by a convincing two-goal margin ahead of France pair Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe, Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku and Denis Cheryshev of Russia.

“Very proud to have won the World Cup golden boot. Not possible without my teammates and all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes,”

Kane scored five of his six goals in group stage wins over Tunisia and Panama before converting a penalty against Colombia in the round of 16, but appeared to tire towards the end of England’s campaign and failed to register another shot on target in the knockout stage.

Nevertheless, his exploits were enough to become only the second Englishman ever to win the Golden Boot at a World Cup after Lineker, who scored six times at the 1986 tournament in Mexico.

“Congratulations to @HKane on winning the golden boot,”  “Welcome to the club, young man.”
