Harry Kane injury latest as Callum Wilson shows England World Cup class

Gareth Southgate reveals his decision to substitute Harry Kane was due to a bad tackle he sustained in the second-half. Newcastle United's Callum Wilson replaced the Tottenham striker in the second-half and grabbed an assist for Jack Grealish with England's sixth goal of the afternoon.

The Magpies No 9 unselfishly squared the ball for the Manchester City playmaker in the dying embers of the game. Supporters were quick to praise the Toon frontman, when he could have easily taken a shot on goal.

England will now take on the United States in their second game in Group B on Friday night at the Al Bayt Stadium. Kane is expected to start if he's fit.
