following strikes from Ryan Bertrand and Danny Welbeck in the 4-0 victory, hit back.

And he pointed to the hard work required to make it into internatio­nal football.

Kane said: “It takes a lot of commitment to reach the top.

“You must start from a young age and have dedication to be a top profession­al and play for your country.

“Anyone who says that [players lack pride], I don’t think they understand what it takes, and it is probably why they are sitting at home watching and we’re out there playing. “I’m extremely proud to represent my country. I know the other players are too.” England boss Gareth Southgate (left) says it’s a privilege to have Kane – and a wealth of other attacking talent – to deploy. Southgate said: “It has been brilliant to look at the bench [on Friday night] and be able to bring on Marcus [Rashford], Danny [Welbeck], Jamie Vardy.

“We’ve got [Jermain] Defoe (above) and [Daniel] Sturridge on there, so we’ve got some real quality and people who can make an impact.

“The bench in the modern game is crucial because the last 15-20 minutes are so important.

“That said, Harry throughout the game is always a threat – he will score goals for us. He’s proved that. Five goals in three matches.

“It’s a privilege that we have got him with us.”
