Kane was honoured before the match with a golden cap and wore golden boots, which he used to great effect to break down Finland’s resolute defence. Despite England’s early dominance, Kane was twice denied by Finnish keeper Lukas Hradecky and had a goal disallowed for offside before finally breaking the deadlock with his 67th international goal.

The goal came in the 57th minute when Kane expertly controlled a clever pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold, evaded the Finnish defence, and unleashed a powerful shot high into the net.
Kane’s celebration continued 14 minutes from time when England debutant Noni Madueke provided the assist for his second goal, a clinical finish that left Hradecky with no chance.

The victory, a result of a much-improved second-half performance, ensured interim manager Lee Carsley began his tenure with back-to-back wins following England’s triumph over the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.
