It was definitely a night that Harry Kane would never forget. Kane was the first to celebrate with Wayne Rooney, when Wazza became England’s record goalscorer back in 2015. Now, Kane has broken the record that Wayne Rooney held all those years back. A crowing moment for a top striker.

But, the funniest incident of the game involving the skipper happened just around the start of the second half. Just two minutes into the second half, Kane, 29, took a ball to the midriff as he helped defend. The blow was quite a hard one and it looked like it took the wind out of his sails for the moment. He went down quickly but landed just behind the byline beside the England penalty area.

Kane showed his presence of mind as he was quick to get back into the field of play, ensuring the game would not restart until he had recovered. However, the way in which he crawled back onto the pitch caught the attention of everyone.
Kane had a superb army-style crawl, which included crashing into a team-mate’s foot as well, as he kept his head down as if he was hiding.
