Harry Kane says England's new generation passed their first test with flying colours after Gareth Southgate's side kicked off their Euro 2020 campaign with a 1-0 win against Croatia. Southgate has infused England's squad with a vibrant crop of emerging stars and Kane was relieved to see them cope with the pressure of playing in a major tournament for the first time. "But we had a great team performance and it is important we use the whole squad throughout the tournament. Tottenham striker Kane finished as top scorer in the Premier League this season and won the 2018 World Cup Golden Boot. Kane often dropped deep in a bid to dictate play from midfield, yet could not exert his usual influence.
