Kane has scored 36 international goals with his right foot, five with his left and nine headers.

The only other man to score a half-century of England goals is all-time leading scorer Wayne Rooney, who netted 53 times in 120 games between 2003 and 2018.

Kane's 50th goal arrived in just his 71st appearance for the Three Lions, meaning the Tottenham Hotspur star boasts a much healthier goals-per-game ratio than Rooney.

Rooney retired having scored an average of 0.44 GPG. Kane's current GPG record is 0.70.
