FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: Southgate hails brilliant Kane as England all but seals place in Qatar

The Hindu  

England manager Gareth Southgate hailed a brilliant performance by captain Harry Kane as the striker claimed a first-half hat-trick in a 5-0 demolition of Albania at Wembley on Friday. In doing so Kane moved to 44 goals and level with Jimmy Greaves in fourth place on England's all-time scoring list and become the first England player for more than 100 years to twice score more than 10 goals for his country in a calendar year.

His all-round game was excellent," said Southgate, whose side needs a draw away to San Marino on Monday to confirm top spot in Group I and a place at next year's World Cup finals in Qatar.
