One man dragged England back from the brink. One man rescued Thomas Tuchel’s job. One man stopped England fans from going home, empty of heart and pocket. That man was Harry Kane.
They will need him at his best again at the Azteca against Mexico – at altitude. Kane and the England players left the field to a riotous rendition of “Wonderwall” and to sustained applause.
How the mood had changed. Because this was often a shambolic performance by England.
