England End With Another Narrow Win

Last updated : 08 October 2017 By Three Lions

Gareth Southgate experimented with formation and players in Vilnius but the home side will feel slightly aggrieved that they could not take a point from the game.

Kane's penalty winner added to his late strike against Slovenia on Thursday and confirmed his reputation as the key man for England going into a World Cup year.

Gareth Southgate will argue that preparations for the tournament itself, with a low-key qualifying campaign yielding little in the way of excitement, begin now as the Three Lions prepare for next summer by way of a series of high-profile friendly matches.

They start with the visit of Germany and Brazil to Wembley in November.
