World Cup: DR Congo out as England player, Kane breaks Pele’s record

England captain, Harry Kane, has now scored more World Cup goals than Brazil legend Pele.

Kane scored twice, as the Three Lions defeated the Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1 in the Round of 32 on Wednesday.

Thomas Tuchel’s men had fallen behind to a fine finish from Brian Cipenga in the first half.

But Kane struck two late goals to ensure England qualify for the last 16, where they will face co-hosts Mexico.

Kane’s double takes him above Pele on 13 goals at World Cups.

The Bayern Munich striker is also England’s top scorer at the tournament in history.
