FIFA World Cup 2018: Harry Kane overtakes Cristiano Ronaldo in 'Golden Boot' race

England footballer Harry Kane surpassed Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo as the leading goal scorer after hitting a hat-trick against Panama in the FIFA World cup 2018.

Kane has dominated the scoring charts in the Premier League in the recent year and has now translated that to international level also. 

The English professional player fired home a pair of stunning penalties which gave England a massive 6-1 lead over Panama. 

Kane will be desperate to maintain his hot-streak with Ronaldo playing in a low-scoring Portugal team and Lukaku reportedly suffering from a knock.

The Tottenham striker was handed the captain's armband by Gareth Southgate ahead of the World Cup and he is repaying that faith in abundance.

Meanwhile, Belgium's Romelu Lukaku acquires the second position with four goals in two games.
 
Ronaldo, as of now, is in third place with four goals. He took 158 minutes in comparison to Lukaku's 158 minutes. 

Ronaldo's side will come face to face with Iran on Monday at Mordovia Arena, Saransk.
