Harry Kane said incoming England coach Thomas Tuchel has been boosted by the emergence of a crop of young players who have shone in the absence of more experienced internationals after a 5-0 Wembley win against the Republic of Ireland.

Harry Kane may have started England's rout against the Republic of Ireland off but another off-key display for the Bayern Munich striker has given Thomas Tuchel an early headache

Bellingham’s first touch was heavy but he was able to turn inside Scales, who caught his ankles for a penalty. Scales was shown a second yellow card, Kane coolly dispatched the spot-kick – goal number 69 for England – and that was that.

Harry Kane has opened up about what “straight-talking” Thomas Tuchel is like to work with. Tuchel was Kane’s head coach at Bayern Munich last term and will link back up with the England captain when, on January 1, he assumes his new role as the permanent England manager.

Thomas Tuchel will officially take charge of the Three Lions on January 1, with interim coach Lee Carsley set to step down after Sunday's Nations League clash with the Republic of Ireland
