Maybe it was a peak into the future and if it was what a future it could be. Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw combined to set up a goal for Harry Kane in front of the Stretford End.
The only downside was that this came for England rather than Manchester United, but if Kane and Erik ten Hag get what they want, it could be happening week after week next season.
For Kane, it was a glimpse into a future that awaits if he can force his way out of Tottenham. We already know Rashford and Shaw have an excellent understanding down the left and they used that to full effect for England on familiar territory.
Rashford hugged the touchline and slipped a perfect ball through an underlapping Shaw. His pull-back found Kane to slam home his 40th goal of another brilliant season.
