Harry Kane is England’s record scorer – here’s how he did it and how he compares to the greats

New York Times  

Wayne Rooney stood in front of his team-mates inside Wembley’s home dressing room and delivered a short speech after becoming England’s record goalscorer. As the chart below shows, Kane has reached the international feat emphatically, achieving the record in 39 fewer games than Rooney played, strengthening his claims to be recognised as England’s greatest striker. I have never seen a finisher like him.” Looking at Kane’s goalscoring rate compared with his international peers shows just how prolific he has been. Harry Kane remains one of the best strikers I have seen.” Looking at his goalscoring trajectory against the rest of England’s top six all-time men’s goalscorers again shows how quickly Kane has broken the record. He’s a phenomenal player, a master of what he does, and his hunger for goals is as good as ever.” Though Kane brings plenty of other attributes to this England side, such as dropping deep and linking play, nearly all of his 54 goals have come from inside the area, and the majority have come within the width of the goalposts.
