Harry Kane converted a late penalty to close in on the all-time England goal-scoring record and secure a 2-1 win over fellow World Cup qualifiers Switzerland on Saturday night.
Kane netted from the spot to reach 49 England goals, moving ahead of Gary Lineker and into a second place tie with Bobby Charlton. Only Wayne Rooney, with 53 goals, has scored more times for England. Breel Embolo put Switzerland ahead at Wembley after 22 minutes in a first half dominated by the visitors before Luke Shaw’s equaliser in first-half injury time.
