Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier called it a privilege to play alongside "special" skipper Harry Kane as the England full-back vowed to do anything he can to help Gareth Southgate's side. After starting the Nations League with a shock 1-0 loss in Hungary, the Three Lions dug deep at the Allianz Arena to secure a 1-1 draw with Germany on Tuesday evening.
Jonas Hofmann's second-half strike was cancelled out by a late spot-kick from Kane, who fired past Manuel Neuer to become just the second man to reach 50 goals for England. Wayne Rooney's record haul of 53 is tantalisingly close and Trippier, a former Tottenham team-mate and long-standing international colleague of Kane, was full of praise for the England captain.
"He is special and I am privileged to have played with him for club and country," he said. "Fifty goals is incredible. He's a top pro and a great leader. There are only a couple more goals to go for Harry (until he breaks Rooney's record).
