Harry Kane was England's Captain Marvel once again as he dragged England to a nervy 2-1 victory over DR Congo.

The Three Lions got off to the worst possible start when Brian Cipenga put the underdogs ahead, but with hope running out, Kane scored two to keep England's World Cup dream alive.

There were major concerns about the defensive frailties within Tuchel’s side and they were immediately exposed when Cipenga fired beyond Jordan Pickford at his near post. The stunned Three Lions looked at each other, with Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice both making their frustrations clear.

It could and should have then been two when Yoann Wissa got on the end of the cross, but his effort could only clip the outside of the post.
