A stoppage-time header from two-goal Harry Kane gave England a 2-1 win over Tunisia in their opening World Cup match.

A 35th-minute Ferjani Sassi penalty had cancelled out Kane's 11th minute opener. After the break, England, who had wasted several good chances in the first half, struggled to break down the deep defending African side.

But from a Kieran Trippier corner, a glancing header from Harry Maguire found Kane at the back post and he nodded home to give England a winning start.

Harry Kane is already playing catch-up to Cristiano Ronaldo in the World Cup scoring stakes but the England captain is hoping to start a goal spree of his own against Tunisia.

Ronaldo turned in a classic performance with a superb hat-trick as Portugal drew 3-3 with Spain on Friday, instantly turning up the heat on the rest of the tournament's top marksmen.

Kane happily ranks himself in that elite group and is eager to start chasing down the Real Madrid star.

"For sure, he's put me under a bit of pressure. He's a fantastic player who had a fantastic game," Kane said before his first World Cup appearance.

"Hopefully I will score a hat-trick tomorrow and we'll both be level. But it's not something I'll be thinking about until later in the tournament. It's about concentrating on the team."
