A dramatic injury-time winner from Spurs striker Harry Kane claimed three points for England in their opening World Cup match against Tunisia, to ease English concerns about them making another poor start at a major tournament.
Kane, who opened the scoring in the 11th minute, became the first player, since Diego Forlan did it in 2010, to score two goals in a single World Cup match against two different goalkeepers, after Tunisian netminder Mouez Hassen departed the game early, in tears, shortly after Kane’s strike.
