Fabulous achievement. England play so much better when they have a go. Too much talent to play overly cautious and it doesn’t play to their strengths," Lineker tweeted.Speaking after the game, Kane expressed his thrill at having racked up his half-century."A really nice feeling, you know.

I had a couple of early chances in the game. Obviously the first one over the bar and then Neuer made a good save for the second," Kane said."I thought maybe it was one of those days but we kept going and probably played our best football in the last half-hour of the game.

Physically, we were really strong and good to get the goal and just a shame that we couldn’t get the goal at the end.How many England goals will Harry Kane score before he retires?
