Heartbreak for Harry Kane despite equalling Wayne Rooney's all-time England goals record

Harry Kane equalled England's scoring record with his 53rd goal, moving alongside Wayne Rooney, in their 2-1 World Cup quarter-final loss to France.

But the 29-year-old spurned the chance to surpass Rooney when he missed a second spot-kick later in the game.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker scored his first England goal 79 seconds into his debut in 2015 - the year before Rooney netted his last.

Kane has achieved his tally at a remarkable rate, with his latest coming on just his 80th cap.

Against France, Kane coolly drilled the first penalty into the bottom corner from 12 yards to make it 1-1.
