Harry Kane’s goal against Denmark on Wednesday saw him become England’s joint record scorer at major tournaments. Here, the PA news agency looks at the pair’s goal record on the big stage and the rest of England’s leading tournament goalscorers. England did not enjoy such success in the Euros during Lineker’s career, with group-stage exits in both 1988 and 1992. Wayne Rooney, who displaced Charlton as his country’s record scorer, scored seven goals across four major tournaments including four as a teenager at Euro 2004. Charlton scored five tournament goals, one more than Steven Gerrard and David Platt, while there are seven players tied on three goals.
