Of course, the England international is human and, on occasion, capable of failing to finish his chances. And he explained just that himself during his post-match interview with the BBC.

Kane said: “You go through games like that, I was there waiting for an opportunity like that to fall my way, you’re kind of just waiting for the ball to bounce, and it did. I just couldn’t quite get over the ball, but I’d back myself to score them more often than not, so it is what it is. I’ve been a striker long enough to know it doesn’t always go in, so I just have to accept it.”
