England captain Harry Kane was finally acquainted with the Golden Boot he won at the World Cup ahead of the Three Lions’ Nations League opener against Spain on Saturday.

A near capacity 90,000 crowd at Wembley came to show their appreciation of England’s run to the semi-finals in Russia for the first time in 28 years.

Kane, who scored six goals in seven games, was presented with the award by England manager Gareth Southgate before kick-off.

To mark the occasion, the Spurs striker wore a special pair of gold boots for the clash with the 2010 world champions.
