World Cup 2018: Harry Kane now top scorer, sets new record against Panama

England captain, Harry Kane, is now the leading top scorer at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Kane netted a hat-trick, as the Three Lions hammered Panama 6-1 on Sunday afternoon, to book their place in the final 16.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker has scored the two goals in the first fixture, when they beat Tunisia 2-1 and now have five goals to his name. Kane is also the first player to score 5+ goals in his first two World Cup games since Just Fontaine in 1958. Fontaine went on to score 13 that year, the most ever in a single World Cup.

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku are in second place with four goals each.
