Harry Kane on fire and confident goal-scoring form will continue after England winner
The Tottenham striker had to wait until the 94th minute to score against Slovenia but in doing so became the first man to score in each of his first three games as England captain, having netted when he wore the armband in the summer against both Scotland and France.
After his infamously dry August, Thursday’s goal took his tally for club and country to 14 goals in just nine games. That eclipses the 13 he scored in the final nine games of last season.
“Have I ever had a period like this before? Maybe when I was younger, when you scored six or seven a game,” he said. “Probably not in my professional career.
“I feel great, physically great, every game I expect to score and want to score. I just want to keep it going. September was fantastic for me personally, hopefully October can be even better.
“That’s the great thing about it, to keep improving. We’ve got a busy month ahead of us again, and let’s see what happens.”
