Tottenham striker Harry Kane struck for England on debut in their 4-0 rout of Euro qualifying opponents Lithuania. Kane entered the pitch in the 71st minute and he nodded the ball in less than two minutes later to round off a simple victory.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney moved to within two goals of Sir Bobby Charlton's England scoring record with an early opener.

He would have moved level with the England great inside 19 minutes had he not rattled the woodwork on two occasions.

But once Rooney made way for Kane, the script was written for the Tottenham striker to score on his debut and he did not disappoint.

Man of the match Danny Welbeck, of Arsenal, and Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling had given England a comfortable cushion against dire opposition and then Kane pounced with just his third touch to put the icing on the cake.

Kane said: "It's not a bad start. I dreamed of this and it's just a bit of a blur at the moment. I'm delighted for the lads.

"It's the best moment of my career. To represent my country at senior level is the top and hopefully I can continue to keep doing it and hopefully this goal is the first of many."
