Harry Kane scored a decisive penalty away to world champions Spain, giving England victory in the Nations League match played on Sunday. The English created several chances in the opening minutes.
At half-time, England had put four of their eight shots on target, putting the hosts under serious pressure.
Penalty awarded after VAR review
The key moment of the match came when Pau Cubarsi fouled Kane, leading to a penalty after a VAR review. The Bayern Munich striker, who recently received the Ballon d’Or, converted the spot-kick and put England ahead.
The goal underlines Kane’s excellent away form. It makes him only the second player in England’s history to score in seven consecutive away games, joining Tom Finney, who reached that mark between 1946 and 1948.
Kane missed penalty at Wembley
Kane had failed to score a penalty against Spain in an earlier match at Wembley in September, which makes this conversion even more significant.
After the match, Kane expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and their ability to overcome difficulties in such a demanding environment.
With this victory, England consolidate their position in the Nations League and send a clear message to their rivals. The team’s next challenge will be decisive in showing whether Kane keeps up this form and helps the side reach new heights in the competition.
