England boss Roy Hodgson has challenged Harry Kane to continue his goalscoring form when he makes his first start for the national side against Italy this evening.
Kane, who scored on his first appearance for the Three Lions against Lithuania last week, has netted 30 goals for club and country this term, and the Tottenham Hotspur man partners Theo Walcott against the Italians tonight.
Hodgson told ITV Sport: "Of course for Harry, everyone has been waiting [for the start] and he fully deserves it. I'm looking forward to seeing him play and hopefully he can bring his Spurs form with him.
"I hope to see both [Kane and Walcott] reward the faith we have in them. With Theo's pace, he likes to play as a striker."
