Harry Kane Scores Twice with Anthony Gordon Assists in England's World Cup Win

Harry Kane Scores Twice with Anthony Gordon Assists in England's World Cup WinPreviousNext

In England's 2-1 comeback win over DR Congo at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32, Harry Kane scored twice, with both goals assisted by substitute Anthony Gordon. Gordon became the first England player to directly assist multiple goals after coming off the bench in a World Cup match. Kane, now with five goals in the tournament, joined an elite group of players with five or more goals in multiple World Cups and has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo's single-season goal tally, placing him second only to Lionel Messi.
