The England national team opened the pre-qualifying cycle towards the Euro 2024 European Championship with victory.
In the first round of Group C of these qualifiers, England defeated Italy as a guest with a narrow score of 2:1
It was the English who unlocked the first result through Declan Rice, while Harry Kane deepened the lead to 2:1, while in Italy Mateo Retegui scored the honor goal.
Kane’s goal turned out to be the winner for the ‘Three Lions’ last night, while the English striker also became England’s all-time top scorer.
After the match, the striker expressed himself very excited, where he said that it was very special to score and win this match.
It means everything. We are very excited to be back in the England shirt to start the European season next year. It should have been a penalty, of course, but as soon as it hit the net, I was very emotional,” Kane said.
“It’s a magical moment. Thanks to everyone who helped me get to this stage. It’s a wonderful night. We haven’t won in Italy for so long. To score and win this game is just special,” he further added.
Harry Kane scored goal number 54 with the England National Team today, becoming the best scorer in the history of the ‘Three Lions’
