Kane edges England to underwhelming New Zealand victory

Harry Kane’s 79th international goal edged England to a 1-0 win over New Zealand as the Three Lions’ World Cup preparations got off to an underwhelming start in the Florida heat on Saturday. Kane flicked in Djed Spence’s cross in first half stoppage time as England laboured to victory against a side 81 places below them in the world rankings. New Zealand were thrashed 4-0 by Haiti on Wednesday but Thomas Tuchel’s men found clear-cut chances far harder to come by in their first experience of the brutal conditions Stateside.
