World Cup: Kane's Double Gives England 2-1 Edge Over Tunisia

Harry Kane

Harry Kane scored a dramatic injury-time winner as England beat Tunisia 2-1 in their World Cup opener in Volgograd on Monday evening.

The England captain, who had volleyed his side into an early lead, headed home after John Stones had flicked on a Kieran Tripper corner in the 91st minute to secure a vital three points in their bid to qualify from Group G.

A controversial penalty looked to have denied them the win when Kyle Walker was harshly penalised for an elbow on Fakhreddine Ben Youssef 10 minutes before half-time and Ferjani Sassi coolly slotted home.

But Kane’s late intervention means Gareth Southgate’s young side move level with Belgium – who beat Panama 3-0 earlier in the day – at the top of the group and start their World Cup campaign in positive fashion.
