Your support makes all the difference.Harry Kane was England’s hero as the Tottenham Hotspur man scored a late header to seal all three points against Tunisia.
The match began well for England, as Harry Kane gave them the lead shortly before Tunisia’s first choice goalkeeper Mouez Hassen was forced off with an injury.
But England failed to build on their lead and were pegged back by a Ferjani Sassi penalty kick after Kyle Walker was harshly adjudged to have fouled Fakhreddine Ben Youssef.
Step forward Kane, who scored a header in the 91st minute to seal a late, late win for Gareth Southgate’s side.
But how did the two teams perform? We run the rule over both sets of players in the above gallery.
