Harry Kane: How many England goals has Tottenham ace scored? Where is he on all-time list?
HARRY KANE - How many England goals has Tottenham ace scored? Where is he on all-time list?
Harry Kane leads the line for the Three Lions against Croatia tonight in England’s second UEFA Nations League match.
The game will be played behind closed doors after UEFA handed the Croatian Football Federation a two-match stadium ban on fans after a swastika was marked on the pitch before a Euro 2016 qualifier against Italy back in June 2015.
England’s maiden Group 4 match ended in a 2-1 home loss to Spain after Marcus Rashford had given Gareth Southgate’s side the lead.
Rashford started alongside Kane that game, the latter tending to come deeper, as he did when Raheem Sterling made in-roads behind the defence to afford him space at the World Cup.
Kane netted six times in Russia, winning the Golden Boot.
The 25-year-old was criticised in the later stages of the tournament for failing to deliver the goods, however.
Kane only took a two-week rest between the World Cup and pre-season.
However, the marksman has notched a respectable five goals in the Premier League for Spurs this season amid the worry.

How many England goals has Harry Kane scored?
Kane has scored 19 goals for England in 32 games.
The Spurs striker averages a goal every 126 minutes with the Three Lions on his chest.
Although from a smaller data pool, that’s a better rate than all-time top goalscorer Wayne Rooney, as well as Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker and Michael Owen.
If Kane sustains his current strike rate, it would take him 76 England caps to eclipse Rooney’s goal tally - Kane is currently 22nd on the list.
With the introduction of the UEFA Nations League, Rooney’s record of 37 competitive goals is also certainly within grasp.
More provision to register competitive goals should see Kane snatch the record, although England will be playing against consistently strong opposition.
Kane currently has 16 competitive England goals.
