When England were drawn in a relatively soft Euro 2020 qualifying group against the Czech Republic, Kosovo, Bulgaria and Montenegro, there was always the chance that Harry Kane could help himself to some more international goals. After all, the Spurs striker won the 2018 World Cup’s Golden Boot, and none of those opponents had a well-renowned defence.

Sure enough, Kane delivered in spades, scoring 12 goals – more than any other player in the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign. And in typical Kane fashion, he scored all kinds of goals; close-range tap-ins, headers, smart finishes to great team moves and penalties, they were all fair game for the England captain.

In the end, Kane was also able to set a record of his own; he became the first England player to score in every single qualifying game that his side played in, including hitting two hat-tricks. Only time will tell whether he can repeat the feat in winning the Golden Boot in next summer’s tournament, but it wouldn’t be smart to write it off.
