Harry Kane breaks record as 10-man England beat Italy in Euro 2024 opener - 6 talking points

England got their Euro 2024 qualification campaign off to the perfect start as Harry Kane's record-breaking strike helped the Three Lions beat Italy 2-1 in Naples.

Despite a bright start from the Italians, it was the Three Lions who opened the scoring within the first quarter of an hour through Declan Rice. Bukayo Saka's corner caused mayhem in the box and the ball fell kindly to the West Ham midfielder, who drilled home from close-range.

Gareth Southgate's side controlled the rest of the first-half and were handed the chance to double their lead from the spot. That gave Kane the chance to break Wayne Rooney's record - and he converted emphatically as he slotted the penalty into the bottom corner for his 54th international goal.
