England win in Napoli and this is the Italian Gerrard wants for Liverpool

England striker Harry Kane achieved this record after scoring against Italy during England's 2-1 win over Italy in Group C of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. The England striker's goal came after 44 minutes of the first half at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona. Harry Kane became England's all-time leading goalscorer on Thursday when he scored his 54th goal, converting a penalty against Italy in Naples to open the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

The England captain (81 caps) leapfrogged Wayne Rooney, whom he had overtaken with 53 goals during the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where England were knocked out by France in the quarter-finals. Wayne Rooney was capped 120 times between 2003 and 2018. Harry Kane, 29, scored England's provisional 2-0 goal from a penalty that had been awarded for a handball by Giovanni Di Lorenzo at a corner in the 44th minute.

The England striker recently became his Tottenham club's all-time leading scorer when he scored his 267th goal in early February, taking him past 1960s legend Jimmy Greaves (266). For England, Harry Kane had already scored in his debut match in March 2015 against Lithuania (4-0).

Barella at Anfield

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has raved about Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella, amid claims Jurgen Klopp hopes to sign him. Speaking on commentary for Channel 4 ahead of England's Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy tonight, the Anfield hero was full of praise for the 26-year-old, who is reportedly a target of the Reds. "They have potential world class players emerging now," Gerrard said of Italy.
