Comments:

With his 54th goal in his 81st appearance, Harry Kane became England's all-time leading goalscorer, beating the record previously held by Wayne Rooney (53 goals in 120 games). . This was manager Gareth Southgate's 50th win in charge of the Three Lions; only Walter Winterbottom (78) and Alf Ramsey (69) had now won more.
