Harry Kane could have been forgiven for not just having history on his mind as he stared down Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma before the moment that rewrote England's record books.

The last time the Three Lions captain found himself standing over the penalty spot for his country it resulted in one of the most agonising moments of his career, the late miss in the World Cup quarter-final loss against France in Qatar.

Instead, inside the ramshackle but atmospheric Neopolitan stadium - named after the city's great icon Diego Armando Maradona - Kane demonstrated the single-minded focus and expertise that now makes him England's greatest goalscorer.
