Harry Kane became England’s all-time top penalty scorer with his goal from the spot against Poland on Wednesday.
Kane opened the scoring in the 19th minute of the World Cup qualifier at Wembley, before Poland equalised in the 58th minute through Jakub Moder.
But England would prevail 2-1 after Harry Maguire’s late winner, making it three wins from three to begin qualification for Qatar 2022.
Kane’s record
With his 10th career international goal from the spot, Kane broke the Three Lions record that was previously held by Frank Lampard.
10 – Harry Kane is now the all-time leading penalty scorer for England, netting 10 from the spot – one more than Frank Lampard. Reliable.
