Victory a huge boost for England, says Kane

HARRY Kane believes England's 5-0 statement victory over Serbia can be the starting point for World Cup glory.

The Euro 2024 runners-up lit the blue touch paper to Thomas Tuchel's reign with a night to remember in Belgrade, with goals from Kane, Noni Madueke, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi and Marcus Rashford firing them to within touching distance of qualification for next summer's tournament in North America.

While England had won all four previous qualifying games under Tuchel, it had generally been underwhelming, especially as they laboured to 1-0 and 2-0 wins over minnows Andorra.

But everything came together in a match which was supposed to represent their toughest mission of the qualifying campaign and got Kane excited.
