On the night of June 10, Vietnam time, the England team visited the Scotland team in Group F of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Europe. It was the first time striker Harry Kane was wearing the "Three Lions" captain's armband.
In the 90+3 minute, Harry Kane had an accurate leg swing to convert Sterling's cross into a goal. Thereby, he sealed the score at 2-2 for the match after goalkeeper Joe Hart had to use as the foundation for 2 "super products" of Griffiths on the DT Scotland side. This is the striker's 6th goal in 18 matches for the England team.
However, Harry Kane was not rated too highly compared to the general level of England in this match. According to BBC Sport's scoring section, in the "Three Lions" main squad, his 6 points are equal to Jake Liverpoolmore, Kyle Walker, Ryan Bertrand and 7 points behind Adam Lallana.
It can be said that to further affirm his class, Harry Kane needs to score more regularly at the national team level like the current world's top strikers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski... still do.
In the English national team, he needs to have convincing performances at the 2018 VCK World Cup in Russia, a tournament where the "Three Lions" will only be absent if there is a surprise. More than anyone else, Kane wants to erase his unconvincing performance with 0 goals after 4 matches at VCK EURO 2016 in France.
Even at Tottenham, Harry Kane's performance was not yet too perfect. When he became the Premier League's "Gunners" of the 2015-2016 season with 25 goals, this tournament ended a 15-year streak of this title belonging to foreign strikers. In the 2016-2017 season, he maintained this position with 29 goals in 30 matches, achieving an efficiency of 0.97 goals/match. However, the last 7 goals came in the 2 matches at the end of the season with opponents no longer motivated to play: Leicester and Hull City.
In the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League, the "Roosters" only finished 3rd in the group with Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and CSKA Moscow. Despite only playing 3/6 maximum matches, Kane has also contributed 2/6 goals for Tottenham. Returning to this tournament in the 2017-2019 season, of course Kane wanted to score more goals to help his team go far.
At the age of 24, not every striker has good results like Harry Kane. However, to become a real goalscorer, this striker needs to conquer the big tournaments awaiting ahead.
