The 21-year-old Kane, who has scored 29 goals for Tottenham Hotspur this season, net England's fourth goal in the 72nd minute as a substitue of captain Wayne Rooney.

England stand atop of Group E with five wins from as many matches, six points ahead of Slovenia, extending their unbeaten run in competitive matches at Wembley to 17.
"It's not a bad start," Kane said after the match. "I dreamed of this, and it's just a bit of a blur at the moment. It's the best moment of my career. To represent my country at senior level is the top, and hopefully I can continue to keep doing it, and hopefully this goal is the first of many."
England head coach Roy Hodgson said it was a dream come true for Kane.
"It is a bit of a fairy tale," Hodgson said. "It's nice when fairy tales come true, and it's come true for Harry. He's had a wonderful season so far, and he's crowned his England debut with a goal."
England will next play Italy in a international friendly in Turin on March 31.
