From the twelve steps: Harry Kane scored the winning goal for England vs. Switzerland | VIDEO

The English team took advantage of a foul in the area to sentence the match. Harry Kane exchanged a penalty for a goal and gave England 2-1 vs. Switzerland for international friendly.

A penalty for a handball in the area was awarded to England with the help of VAR and Kane did not forgive from eleven meters (2-1, 78).

With this goal, Kane reaches 49 goals for England, overtaking Gary Lineker and equaling Bobby Charlton for second place.

Only Wayne Rooney, with 53 goals for the ‘Three Lions’, has scored more goals than the Tottenham striker.

“It was a tough match,” Kane admitted. “We have an important year ahead of us and this was an opportunity to try another system and see how it works for us,” he said.

“New players have debuted, that’s great,” Kane commented in this regard. “It was really good to see all those young players come in and feel confident.”

A match that, had it been tied, would have better reflected what was seen on the pitch, eight months before the start of the World Cup in Qatar. “We have shown a good performance, even if there is room for improvement, but it is a good victory to launch the year,” Kane confessed at the end of the match. On Tuesday England will host Ivory Coast and Switzerland will do the same with Kosovo.
