Harry Kane's 53rd-minute goal was all that separated England's Premier League stars from Malta's humble part-timers until a late flurry added gloss on the scoreline. Ryan Bertrand's powerful shot doubled England's lead before Danny Welbeck and Kane with his second punished the flagging islanders in stoppage time at the Ta' Qali National Stadium. We were trying to break them down, they had 10 men behind the ball. We knew if we just kept moving it wide we would find the space," Kane told ITV. The mood was more cheery at the end although England will need to play better to avoid a slip against Slovakia at Wembley.
