Midfield sensation Jude Bellingham stole the show with two goals in the 36th and 38th minutes, setting England on course for victory.

The victorious squad's rendition of 'Wonderwall' – an anthem that has become synonymous with Thomas Tuchel's England side – left Kane squeaking his responses during the BBC interview. Kelly Somers couldn't help but chuckle as he replied, "I can't even talk."
