Kane can break Rooney's England record - Shilton

Harry Kane has a 'great chance' of breaking Wayne Rooney's England goalscoring record, according to Peter Shilton, who describes the Spurs star as a 'natural' predator in the final third.

The Three Lions romped to a 7-0 victory over Montenegro at Wembley on Thursday night, booking a place at next summer's European Championships in the process.

Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, Marcus Rashford and Tammy Abraham all got themselves on the scoresheet, as did Montenegro's Aleksandar Sofranac when he put through his own net, but Kane stole the headlines with a clinical hat-trick.
