England captain Harry Kane matched Wayne Rooney’s record after netting in the Three Lions’ 5-0 demolition of Serbia.

The Bayern Munich forward opened the scoring as the Three Lions cruised to a commanding victory in Tuesday’s 2026 World Cup qualifier in Belgrade.

At 32, Kane has now scored away goals against 16 different international opponents, drawing level with England legend Rooney in a remarkable milestone.

The former Tottenham forward has now scored 74 goals in 109 appearances for England.

The seasoned striker, enjoying one of the best years of his career after winning his first major trophy with Bayern, has netted five goals in six matches for his country in 2025.

England return to action next month, hosting Wales in a friendly before traveling to Latvia for their next World Cup qualifier.
