Harry Kane happy with his England performance after Slovakia win
Monday 5 September 2016 12:38, UK
Harry Kane insists he was happy with his England display against Slovakia despite appearing isolated up front.
Kane operated as a lone striker right up until the point he was replaced by substitute Daniel Sturridge as England went in search of a winner which would eventually come in the final few seconds as Lallana struck his first international goal to win the World Cup qualifier 1-0.
Often cutting a lone figure at the spearhead of England's attack, Kane was positive about his individual display even if the Tottenham forward is still without a goal since a friendly victory over Turkey in May.
"When you play up front on your own you are not always going to have players around you and I think it is about having that battle and holding it up for the team, running in behind and I think we did that well." he said.
"It was a good battle up there and we created some good chances, I had some half-chances that on another day could have sneaked in but overall I was happy with the way things went."
Kane was also pleased to see new England manager Sam Allardyce off to a winning start ahead of a qualification double-header against Malta and Slovenia next month.
"We are all delighted for him," the 23-year-old added.
"With a new manager coming in you want to get him a good victory to start off with, he has been great all week.
"We have had a really good camp, good training sessions and we are delighted to reward him with a win."
