October 2013 and Gareth Southgate’s England Under 21s beat Lithuania 5-0. Saido Berahino is the team’s main striker and scores twice while Nick Powell, now at Wigan, comes off the bench. Harry Kane, 20 and still awaiting his first Premier League goal for Spurs, is an unused substitute.
Roll forward four years and Kane is England’s stand-out talisman and favourite to score the goal against Slovenia on Thursday that would book his country’s place at next summer’s World Cup.
The 24-year-old striker has been the Premier League’s top scorer for the past two seasons while his record of six hat-tricks in 2017 is in the Messi and Ronaldo realm of statistics.
