Tunisia 1 - England 2 World Cup 2018 - Rusia
Harry Kane gives Three Lions their first World Cup opening win in 12 years
England avoided an early stumble at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia on Monday, turning what looked appeared to be a draw against Tunisia in Group G into three points. Level 1-1 late, Harry Kane converted on corner kick, heading home from close range in the 91st minute as the Europeans earned a 2-1 victory. For the first time since the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the English national team starts group stage play with three points.
It was a dramatic finish as England pushed during the final half hour to find the winner, and it didn't look like it was coming, until it did. Ruben Loftus-Cheek played a big role that won't be talked about enough. His defensive pressure in the final minutes in the corner gave England the corner that would lead to the victory.
Though the match was close, it didn't look like it would be early on as England got chance after chance. But a lack of quality from Raheem Sterling and Jesse Lingard left the result up in the air, giving Tunisia life.
Harry Kane struck in the stoppage time to help England edge Tunisia 2-1 in a Group G fixture of the FIFA World Cup 2018 fixture on Monday. The first-half saw a thrilling contest after Ferjani Sassi cut out a slender deficit for Tunisia from the spot after Kane had given his team an early lead in the game. However, in the second half Tunsia looked mocked up, failing to hold on to rhythm every time they got possession of the ball. Meanwhile, England on the other side looked calm and composed, maintaining possession and pushing the opponents on the back-foot. The Three Lions put up crosses inside the box in abundance which were cleared off target until the final corner that sealed Tunisia's fate and earned Gareth Southgate's wards three crucial points.
