The game marked Harry Kane's seventh international outing without a goal for England but statistics like that hardly ever matter when he performs with that sort of intensity and determination. The striker registered two assists on the night and also played a crucial role during the build-up to Raheem Sterling's opening goal in the 16th minute.

Kane brilliantly found Marcus Rashford out wide before the Manchester United winger found Sterling with a perfect pass to break the deadlock under the lights in Seville. However, just 13 minutes later he turned provider for Rashford with some old-fashioned centre-forward play when he shielded the ball and held it up confidently before launching a brilliant through ball for the goal.

The England captain added another assist in the 38th minute when he made a perfectly-timed run behind the hosts' defence to get on the end of a lob from Ross Barkley before he squared it back towards the goal for Sterling to bag his second of the night. Kane's contributions did not end there as he often dropped deep down into his own half to preserve the lead and was also sharp and resilient while defending from set-pieces to cap off an all-around performance.
