Kane makes history as 10-man England beat Italy

Gareth Southgate's side were already a goal ahead through Declan Rice when captain Kane stroked home a 44th-minute penalty to overtake Wayne Rooney and help England to a handy Group C win in Naples over the European champions.

Mateo Retegui netted the Italians' goal on the Argentina-born striker's debut for his new country 10 minutes after the break, but despite late pressure and Luke Shaw being sent off with 10 minutes left, the Azzurri could not snatch a point in a repeat of the Euro 2020 final.

Tottenham striker Kane had been locked with Rooney on 53 goals for his national team after missing a penalty in England's World Cup quarter-final defeat by France in December. However, he made no mistake from the spot this time at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona after Giovanni Di Lorenzo was penalised for handball following a VAR check.
