Harry Kane wrote himself into the England record books when his goal against France sent him level with Wayne Rooney’s tally of 53.

The 29-year-old Tottenham frontman, who moved into second place on 50 when he surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s total of 49 with his strike against Germany in June, was just the second Englishman to complete a half-century of senior international goals.

Here, Football Mad takes a look at Kane’s exploits to date for his country.
