Former Manchester United midfielder and pundit Roy Keane predicted that Harry Kane would score for England ahead of their clash against Senegal. It came as the Tottenham striker failed to find the back of the net in the tournament up until that point, despite winning the previous Golden Boot.
While that is always a point of contention, the forward has always been somewhat of a hybrid for the Three Lions, finding the goals when it matters, but often dropping deep to help in build-up. This was on display in the first half against Senegal, where he vacated space to allow Jordan Henderson to break into the box to find the opener.
Kane has been critical of his own performances, but believes the goals will be flowing: "When you go away and dissect it, for sure I’m my own biggest critic and I know when I can do better,” he told reporters ahead of the clash with Senegal.
