England's Harry Kane Wins World Cup Golden Boot With Six Goals

England striker Harry Kane was awarded the Golden Boot for most goals scored in the 2018 World Cup.

Kane, 24, took home the honors after netting six goals in the tournament. The striker tied fellow Englishman Gary Lineker's 1986 record, becoming only the second Three Lions player to lead a World Cup in scoring.

France's Just Fontaine holds the record with 13 astonishing goals scored in the 1958 World Cup.

Belgium's Romelu Lukaku, France's Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Russia's Denis Cheryshev were closest to Kane with four goals, while Croatia's Mario Mandzukic and Ivan Perisic were among seven players that were tied with three.
