England midfielder Jude Bellingham continues to make history at the 2026 World Cup. A brace in the quarter-final victory against Norway (2:1) has propelled the 23-year-old into third place on the list of England's all-time top scorers at World Cup tournaments.
Bellingham has already scored six goals in the current tournament. Combined with his goal from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he now has a total of seven goals in final tournaments. This achievement allowed him to overtake Geoff Hurst, the hat-trick hero of the 1966 final, who finished his career with five World Cup goals.
Currently, only two players remain ahead of Bellingham: Gary Lineker with ten goals and England's all-time World Cup record holder Harry Kane with 14. Among the current squad, other top-five scorers at World Cups include Marcus Rashford (4 goals) and Bukayo Saka (3 goals).
