We are not the finished article yet, admits Kane

-

spells where everything you touch goes in, and sometimes it doesn’t quite go your way,” said the Tottenham forward.

“I had a few off the line in that spell and an offside goal I didn’t think was offside.

“That is part of being a striker, you have to be focused on doing your job for the team.

“Thankfully, we did that in this game and it is great to get three points.

“I thought it was a really good performanc­e.We were maybe a bit slow at the start but we changed our formation and that helped.

“We need to keep working hard.We are not the finished article yet but we are in a good place.

“We’ve won two games – people expected us to win but we had to go out and do it.

“Poland will be the toughest game in the group but we are ready for that.

“It’s a quick turnaround so it is all about recovery in the next few days.

“If we can win that, we go a few points ahead in the group.

“That puts us in a great position going into the games after the Euros.”

But England manager Gareth Southgate admitted there were areas where the team still needs to improve.

“I didn’t like the way we managed the game in the last 15 minutes,” he said.

“We charged forward when we didn’t need to and there was a throw-in at the end that we nearly conceded a goal from.

“I’m pleased with the win but there are areas we can certainly tighten up on.

“What pleased me was that we adapted well to the difficult pitch and controlled the game well.

“We changed the shape of the midfield well and looked comfortabl­e after that.”
