Kane delivers again on football’s biggest stage

For much of the evening, England looked to be heading for one of the shocks of the tournament.

DR Congo frustrated Thomas Tuchel’s side and held a deserved lead deep into the second half before Kane once again demonstrated why he remains one of football’s deadliest forwards.

The Bayern goal-machine equalised in the 75th minute before completing the turnaround with a late winner, dragging England into the World Cup quarter-finals and reinforcing his reputation as one of the game’s ultimate big-match performers.

Another user declared, "Of all time actually."

One other user wrote, " Strongly agree! Harry Kane is currently the most complete striker in Europe. He is the only real superstar in an England squad filled with overhyped players."

Even Barcelona fans could not resist amid their desperate need to sign a striker this summer, with one user begging in all caps, "PLS SELL TO US, BARCELONA"
