England vs. Senegal: Harry Kane sets new goalscoring record before Three Lions denied history

England captain Harry Kane achieved yet another unprecedented international feat with the opening goal in Tuesday's friendly with Senegal at the City Ground.

The Bayern Munich marksman was the sole survivor from the starting lineup that unconvincingly edged out Andorra 1-0 on Saturday, where his strike held up as the winner.

Kane took little time to make his mark in Nottingham, as with just seven minutes on the clock, he tapped home the deadlock-breaker after Edouard Mendy spilled Anthony Gordon's strike into his path.

Having also struck against Albania and Latvia in March, during Thomas Tuchel's opening two matches, Kane is now the first England men's player to find the back of the net in each of a manager's first four games in charge.

The 31-year-old's smile and the smiles of England supporters were soon wiped off their faces, though, as Senegal deservedly levelled when Ismaila Sarr beat Kyle Walker for pace and swept home from Nicolas Jackson's cross.

The first goal scored against England in the Tuchel era denied them a piece of collective history, as the Three Lions have now missed out on six straight wins and six straight clean sheets, an achievement they are yet to manage in the senior men's game.
