World Cup 2018: Last Minute Kane Header Gives England The Win
With Kane scoring both goals for England against Tunisia and winning the game, it is undoubted that the English forwards need to improve on their finishing.
The game started off brightly for England. At times during the first 35 minutes of their World Cup opener, tearing through the Tunisia defense with ease. That was, until, they realized they were, in fact, England. The penalty conceded by Kyle Walker was soft if not incorrectly awarded. However, Harry Kane twice should have earned his side a penalty having been fouled unceremoniously wrestled to the floor.
Wasteful in front of goal, nervy at the back and lacking any cutting edge once they had conceded, but even though it was a very English performance so to say. The three lions pulled off something that was very un-England.
Jesse Lingard, John Stones and Dele Alli were all guilty of missing the target when presented with opportunities from inside 10 yards. Raheem Sterling had an offside flag to thank for perhaps the worst miss of the lot.
They had Kane to thank who remains clinical. He later even joked about keeping pace with Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the golden boot.
Southgate now has five days to prepare his team for Panama on Sunday. He will likely be finishing practice set to be very high on the menu.
Very much a tale England supporters have been told far too often, Fortunately for them, this one had a twist ending they had not been expecting.
