Harry Kane has played poorly so far at this European Championship. But with his third goal of the tournament in the semi-final against the Netherlands, the Bayern star set a new record.
England’s national team captain Harry Kane has become the sole record scorer in knockout matches in European Championship history with his goal in the semi-final against the Netherlands. The 30-year-old Bayern star scored the 1-1 draw in Dortmund from the penalty spot in the 18th minute and with his sixth goal overtook the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, who has scored five goals in knockout matches. Kane had won the penalty himself.
For Kane, who has been criticised for his poor performances at this European Championship, it was the third goal of the tournament. The captain had previously scored in the second group match against Denmark (1-0) and in the round of 16 against Slovakia (2-1). However, Kane was also substituted in the last two games.
Kane improved to joint third place in the all-time European Championship goal scorers list. With seven goals, he is now level with Spain’s captain Alvaro Morata, fellow countryman Alan Shearer and Griezmann. Only the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo (14 goals) and Michel Platini (nine) are better in this statistic.
