Last week, Harry Kane was asked whether he had a special goal celebration planned in tribute to former Tottenham Hotspur teammate Christian Eriksen following the Denmark midfielder's recovery from cardiac arrest. "I'd have to score a goal first before I think of anything like that," he replied in what felt like an unguarded comment revealing his frustration at a slow start to Euro 2020.
The 27-year-old had only played one game by that point, but Friday's 0-0 draw against Scotland followed a similar pattern to the previous weekend's opener against Croatia in that Kane was on the periphery from start to finish.
