Harry Kane scored twice including a stoppage-time winner to give England a 2-1 win over Tunisia in their opening World Cup match. The Three Lions were made to sweat but got full points after the captain headed in just seconds before the match ended.
England took control of the match from start. Tunisia could barely breathe, much less compete. Kane knocked in the rebound of John Stones’s header from a corner kick to give England the lead after 11 minutes.
England had so much posession in the first sixty minutes. But then, Kyle Walker brought down Fakhreddine Ben Youssef inside the penalty area. Ferjani Sassi made no mistake from the spot to beat Jordan Pickford, and the score tied 1-1 until the break.
England were more dominant in the second half. Tunisia started to understand the English game and closed down their attacks.
As the match entered the stoppage time, England got a last corner kick in. Kane whipped the ball into the net after receiving a deflection from Harry Maguire. The crowd went wild as the Three Lions secured a good start in their World Cup campaign.
