Hat-trick hero Harry Kane says "it's all coming together" for England at the World Cup after Gareth Southgate's side sailed into the last 16 with a 6-1 rout of Panama today.
Kane's treble and two goals from John Stones, with Jesse Lingard also on the scoresheet, meant England joined Belgium on six points at the top of Group G ahead of the match between the two teams on Thursday.
Kane said: "I'm very proud. Not many players get to score a hat-trick in the World Cup.
"We have to enjoy this. It's not every day we get to go through after two games."
"We knew it was going to be tough but it's all coming together. It's a brilliant result, fantastic to be through and to do it in this way is great."
