After the surprise defeat to Hungary on the opening day, England had something to make up for in the Nations League. Not an easy task against Germany, which is breathing again under national coach Hansi Flick.
Before the break, the squatter in the group of death did not yield much. Harry Kane decorated England’s only chance, Jonas Hofmann’s opening goal was disallowed for offside.
After the break, Hofmann was allowed to celebrate. The right winger of Borussia Mönchengladbach turned free and hit hard. Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was not completely clear.
A second defeat in a row seemed in the making for England, especially when Neuer stopped an attempt by Kane. But in the final phase, Kane got an excellent opportunity from the VAR after a penalty foul.
The Tottenham striker took his own responsibility and scored his 50th goal for England. He comes with his anniversary goal on three pieces from Wayne Roone, England’s all-time top scorer.
