England score most goals in over a century in historic 2019

England scored more goals in 2019 than they have in over 100 years and their captain Harry Kane set some individual marks as the Three Lions swept aside Kosovo in their final match of the year.

England’s final goal in a 4-0 drubbing of the Balkans, scored by Mason Mount, was their 38th in the last 12 months, their most since 1908, according to Opta.

Mount, on as a substitute for the impressive Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, became the youngest Chelsea player to score for England since Jimmy Greaves in 1960 at 20 years and 311 days old.
