LONDON (AP) — Harry Kane’s golden touch continued for England as he struck a record-extending 55th goal for his country in a 2-0 win against Ukraine. The Tottenham striker had already surpassed Wayne Rooney as the Three Lions’ outright leading scorer with his penalty in the recent 2-1 win against Italy. He got the chance to celebrate in front of his home fans at Wembley with another goal in England’s European Championship qualifier. Kane struck in the 37th minute when converting Bukayo Saka’s cross to the far post. Saka scored three minutes later. Ahead of kickoff Ukraine’s fans sang along to a stirring rendition of the country’s national anthem with one corner of Wembley awash with blue and yellow colors of its flag.
