Kane scores twice as England come from behind to reach last 16
Harry Kane’s brace lifts England past DR Congo in a nervy World Cup win, setting up a knockout clash with Mexico in the Round of 16.
England survived a scare in Atlanta, but Harry Kane’s two goals sealed a 2-1 win over DR Congo and a place in the World Cup last 16. The Three Lions fell behind to a first-half penalty from Arthur Masuaku, but Kane equalised on 45+2 and completed his brace in the 86th minute to keep Gareth Southgate’s side in the tournament. The nervy finish underlined the gulf between expectation and reality for England, who now face a far stiffer test against Mexico in the knockout stages.
