Kane could have got the England record 103 days earlier except that, after drawing level with Wayne Rooney, he contrived to sky a second penalty. Penalties have helped, of course: one-third of Kane’s England goals have come from 12 yards and he has doubled Frank Lampard’s tally from the spot, the previous most. The simplistic temptation to paint a successful spot kick as redemptive should be ignored: firstly, because some penalties matter more than others, and a World Cup quarter-final has greater significance than a Euro 2024 qualifier, even if secured England’s first away win over Italy since 1961. But Kane has three feats that, whatever others do in future, will stand the test of time: being England and Spurs’ leading scorers, potentially for a long time, and a World Cup Golden Boot winner amounts to a formidable body of work.
