Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka Scores As England Beat Ukraine 2-0 In Euro 2024 Qualifiers
Goals from Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka secured a win for England as they beat Ukraine 2-0 in Euro 2024 qualifying campaign on Sunday.
Gareth Southgate’s team followed an impressive victory against Italy in their Group C opener with another composed display highlighted by Saka’s brilliance and the latest display of Harry Kane’s predatory instincts.
Saka has been one of the standout performers in Arsenal’s climb to the top of the Premier League this season and the forward was at his very best once again at Wembley.
It was Saka’s pin-point cross that allowed Kane to give England the lead in the first half as the Three Lions captain extended his record tally for his country.
Kane wrote himself into the record books against Italy, scoring his 54th international goal to surpass Wayne Rooney as England’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Surrounded by his wife and children, the Tottenham striker was presented with a golden boot before kick-off, but quickly got back down to business with goal number 55.
Kane had been more instrumental than most in England’s progress to major tournaments in his career, scoring 34 times in just 29 qualifying group matches.
Aged 29, Kane is at his peak, while the 21-year-old Saka is only just starting to explore the vast depths of his potential.
