Only Messi Ahead: Gordon Praises Kane’s Record-Breaking World Cup Form

After England’s 2-1 win over DR Congo, Anthony Gordon hailed Harry Kane’s performance, saying only Lionel Messi tops his current campaign. Introduced as a substitute in Atlanta, Gordon set up both of Kane’s late goals to pull Thomas Tuchel’s side back from the brink of elimination. Gordon highlighted Kane’s relentless work ethic, from daily finishing drills to his focused training habits, as the key to his incredible goalscoring run. With 72 goals this season for club and country, Kane trails Messi’s single-season mark by just one. He’s now England’s joint–record World Cup scorer with 13 goals as they prepare to face Mexico in the next round.
