Kane the 2nd highest-scoring Englishman for his country

London, March 26 (BNA) Harry Kane moved to the same level with Bobby Charlton in second place in England’s all-time top scorer by scoring a penalty kick to achieve a 2-1 victory over Switzerland in a friendly match on Saturday.

The captain’s 49th goal in 69 appearances for his country leaves him in just four draws with retired Wayne Rooney, according to the Associated Press.

By converting from a penalty after dealing with Stephen Zuber, Kane completed a turnaround in the match that began in preparation for the World Cup in November for both teams.

Ahead of Friday’s tournament draw, there is a chance for Kane to score more goals when Ivory Coast visits Wembley Stadium to face the European Championship runners-up.

A crowd of 78,881 spectators in north London had a poor start for England when Brill Embolo headed Switzerland ahead in the 22nd minute, but Luke Shaw scored England’s goal in first-half stoppage time.

England appeared in the second half without making any changes but by changing their shirts. Players’ names have been removed from their shirts to support the Alzheimer’s Association and raise awareness about dementia to show how people can lose track of memories – including the names of England’s stars.
