England secured their qualification for the Euro 2024 in Germany after claiming a 2-1 victory over Italy at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday evening.

At Wembley, the England captain scored twice as Gareth Southgate’s team rallied from a deficit to win.

Gianluca Scamacca gave the European champions an early lead, but Kane equalised with a penalty kick.

Marcus Rashford gave England the lead after halftime, and Harry Kane scored again to seal the victory.

England is currently in first place in Group C with 16 points after six games and cannot be caught, leaving Italy and Ukraine to battle for second place.

“It’s never as easy as it looks,” Kane told Channel 4. “We have had a really tough group this time but credit to the lads, some of the results we’ve had, performances and we topped it off here today.

“We went 1-0 down, we stayed calm and we stayed steady, we knew we had enough to get the win and we did it.

“It has been a tough journey and to qualify with two games to go is credit to everyone involved.”

Kane is now the top scorer for England at Wembley, surpassing Bobby Charlton.

“I love it, it’s our home, we’ve made it a real fortress over the years and with a full house here, the fans are loving it, we wanted to repay them with good victories and good performances and we did that today,” he said.
