Assist: Luke Shaw. "Kane’s goal comprehensively changed the complexion of the match. Mount recovered a half-clearance out of the Albania defence and did well to turn and work the ball to Raheem Sterling, before accepting it back from him and teeing up Shaw to cross first time. Shaw accepted the invitation and it really was the most tantalising centre. Kane was already on the move, getting in front of Freddie Veseli, and the downwards header was placed inside the corner." Harry Kane33rd of 62 goals. Header from 9 yards., 38' 37:53
Assist: Harry Kane. "The second goal had been advertised and it came when Berat Djimsiti played a pass out of defence straight to Sterling. He found Kane, whose ball ushered in Mount on the overlap up the left. Mount knew immediately what he had to do – open his body and lift a curling sidefoot shot into the far corner. The execution was flawless." Mason Mount4th of 5 goals. Right-footed from 11 yards., 63' 62:07
