TIRANA :England captain Harry Kane poached a late double as his side completed a record-setting World Cup qualification campaign with a hard-earned 2-0 victory away to Albania in Group K on Sunday.

It looked like England were set to drop their first points but Kane tapped home from close range in the 74th minute when Albania failed to deal with a corner.

He then made it 2-0 eight minutes later with a clinical header from substitute Marcus Rashford's deep cross.

In keeping a clean sheet Thomas Tuchel's side became the first European nation to qualify for a World Cup by winning all their games without conceding a goal in a group featuring at least six games.
