History in Naples - Harry Kane became England's all-time top scorer.

The Tottenham striker scored the 54th goal for the selection of Proud Albion, in the match against Italy in the old qualification for the European Championship.

Kane (29) equaled Wayne Rooney's previous record with a goal in the defeat to France in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar, when he also missed the penalty that would have brought him the record.

However, he managed to do it in the first following game for Gareth Sutgate's team. Kane is in Naples hit the net of the Italians from the penalty spot, for a 2:0 lead at the end of the first half.

Kane is now the record holder for both England and his Tottenham.

He scored 54 goals so far with an astonishing speed - in just 81 appearances.

Kane represents a group of six footballers who have scored more than 40 goals for England. Of those, only Jimmy Greaves has scored at a faster rate - one, per 1,3 games, compared to Kane (1,5).

Sir Bobby Charlton held the record for 49 years with 45 goals, until Wayne Rooney surpassed him in 2015.
