England striker Harry Kane is confident goals will flow

England striker Harry Kane insists he is not concerned about his recent form after netting his first goal of the season against San Marino.

The 22-year-old came off the bench to net in England's 6-0 rout in the European Qualifier, which secured their place in next summer's finals.

Kane has gone from third-choice striker at Tottenham to one of the hottest properties in the country over the past year thanks to a remarkable scoring rate - he netted 31 goals in all competitions for his club last term.

Things have not been so easy this campaign, though, and Kane's inability to net in Spurs' opening four Premier League matches have fuelled those predicting he could be a one-season wonder.

But his barren spell ended when he showed composure to add to San Marino's misery.

"Obviously a lot has been said about me not scoring yet this season, but the confidence is still there," Kane said. "I think you saw that in the finish.

"I am delighted to get on the scoresheet and hopefully I can get the ball rolling now and push on.

"It was a little bit (of a weight on my shoulders). Obviously every striker wants to be scoring, so when you're not, when people are talking, you want to prove them wrong.

"When I came off the bench, I knew it was a good opportunity to get on the scoresheet.

"I am delighted with that, but the most important thing was that we won and now we are qualified."

Euro 2016 Qualifiers

England became the first side to secure their place in next summer's finals with Saturday's victory, continuing their 100 per cent Group E record.

They will look to extend that further when Switzerland visit on Tuesday in a match which will no doubt be dominated by Wayne Rooney once again.

The 29-year-old wrote his name into the record books in San Marino, where he equalled Sir Bobby Charlton as England's all-time top scorer.

Rooney was unable to usurp the Manchester United great after being replaced by Kane in the 58th minute, meaning the record-breaking 50th goal could instead arrive at Wembley this week.

"The manager made the call," the Spurs forward said.

"Obviously I was delighted for Wayne to equal the record and hopefully he can go out Tuesday night and beat it.

"We're all rooting for him. I think the whole country is rooting for him to do it, so I am sure he will keep focused and try to do it on Tuesday night."

The Switzerland match is England's toughest remaining qualifier and with qualification assured, manager Roy Hodgson may experiment with his formation.

And Kane is confident he can forge a successful partnership with Rooney if Hodgson decides to go for that option at Wembley.

"I've played in a two before," Kane said. "Last season I played as a 10, Wayne has played as a 10 before.

"It can definitely be done, but obviously that's the manager's call and what he wants to do.

"Me and Wayne both just have to stay focused on our jobs and try to do the best for the team."
