Lineker leads the plaudits for Kane after his 50th goal for England

Former England striker Gary Lineker led the plaudits for Harry Kane after he became only the second man to reach 50 goals for the Three Lions.

The Tottenham striker reached his half-century of international goals to rescue England from defeat in Germany on Tuesday night.

Kane has taken just 71 caps to reach the landmark as he continues to close quickly on Wayne Rooney’s national record of 53 goals.

50 goals for @HKane. Fabulous achievement. England play so much better when they have a go. Too much talent to play overly cautious and it doesn’t play to their strengths.

The second player in @England history to score 50 international goals
