Kylian Mbappe netted twice to become the tournament's all-time leading scorer, but England sealed a record-breaking third-place playoff victory.
Miami [US]: England midfielder Jude Bellingham scripted history at the FIFA World Cup 2026, finishing as the highest-scoring England player in a single World Cup edition after taking his tally to seven goals in the Three Lions' 6-4 victory over France in the third-place playoff.
Bellingham found the net in stoppage time against France to register his seventh goal of the tournament, surpassing all previous England players for the most goals scored in a single FIFA World Cup edition, according to ESPN.
England's right winger Bukayo Saka also delivered a record-breaking performance, scoring a hat-trick and netting the 300th goal of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Saka became only the second England player to score a hat-trick in a FIFA World Cup knockout-stage match after Sir Geoff Hurst, who achieved the feat in the 1966 final. He is also only the second player to score a World Cup hat-trick against France after Brazil legend Pele in 1958.
