Leading the country in his first competitive game as England captain, Harry Kane led from the front against Tunisia, scoring the opening goal.

After Belgium soared to the top of Group G with a 3-0 win earlier in the day, the pressure was on England to perform in their clash with Tunisia on Monday.

That pressure was eased early on, as Gareth Southgate's side took the lead in the 11th minute of the game. 

Minutes after a Raheem Sterling near-miss, the 'Three Lions' won a corner, and Ashley Young curled it in. 

John Stones rose high to head the cross, making good connection, but Mouez Hassen made a great stop to keep the ball out of the net. 

Unfortunately for him, the rebound fell straight to star striker Harry Kane, and the Tottenham man made no mistake, burying the tap-in to put his side 0-1 up.
