Harry Kane makes history as England finishes group stage as leaders

Harry Kane etched his name in English football history by becoming the nation's all-time leading scorer in World Cup tournaments. The England captain achieved this milestone by netting his 11th goal in the competition during England's decisive 2-0 victory over Panama.

The match, held at the MetLife Stadium, saw Jude Bellingham open the scoring in the 62nd minute. Kane then doubled England's lead in the 67th minute, a goal that not only secured the win but also propelled him past the legendary Gary Lineker, who previously held the record with 10 World Cup goals for England.

With this win, England concluded their group stage campaign atop Group L, accumulating a total of 7 points. Panama, on the other hand, finished the tournament without securing any points. England's performance ensures they advance to the knockout stage, where they will face one of the third-placed teams from Groups I, J, or K.
