The celebrations continue in England, after they left it to late, for the captain Harry Kane, to header the winner against Tunisia in Volgograd. Seeing that it was their first win over African opposition in three games, and their first World Cup victory in eight games, they do have reason to celebrate.

The marksman has recovered from his shoulder injury he sustained during the Champions League Final against Real Madrid.
