Harry Kane struggled to score his first goals in a major tournament for England, but they surely came in handy today.
The English striker scored a brace for the Three Lions en route to a 2-1 win over Tunisia in their 2018 FIFA World Cup debut, but their victory against the African side didn't come without a bit of drama.
Kane kicked off all celebrations with a late header for England, following an assist by Harry Maguire in stoppage time. All alone in the box, Kane placed the header away from the reach of sub goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha, giving England the much-needed win to keep up with Belgium's pace.
But even if they have a rich history in World Cup matches, this game-winning goal by Kane made history on its own for the Three Lions, used to be stunned during the late minutes of the game.
