Harry Kane fired England into a 1-0 lead against Spain in their Nations League clash on Sunday night, converting a penalty to equal a record dating back to Tom Finney.
The England captain broke the deadlock late in the first half after referee Clement Turpin awarded the visitors a spot-kick following an incident involving the skipper and Pau Cubarsi in the box.
The decision was checked by VAR due to a clash further back between Marc Cucurella and Elliot Anderon, with the officials reviewing the incident before Turpin stood by his original decision to award England the penalty.
Kane stepped up to take the spot-kick and made no mistake, drilling a superb right-footed effort into the bottom-right corner beyond Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon.
The goal also marked a significant personal milestone for Kane, who became the first England player to score in seven consecutive away matches since legendary forward Tom Finney.
The Bayern Munich striker has continued to lead England’s attack under Tuchel, adding to his remarkable international goalscoring record.
