Richard Dunne last night raved about Harry Kane following his two goals for England against Italy, branding him an even better striker than Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland.
England qualified for the finals of Euro 2024 with a 3-1 win over Italy at Wembley.
England did fall behind early doors after a goal from Gianluca Scamacca.
But Kane equalised from the penalty spot.
Marcus Rashford then put England ahead of a great breakaway led by Jude Bellingham.
Kane then scored his second and England's third, putting the game to bed.
It was a brilliant performance from the Three Lions captain that left former City defender Dunne in awe...

Richard Dunne says Harry Kane is better than Erling Haaland Kane has come in for heavy praise following his exploits last night.
And he went as far as to claim Kane is a better striker than City marksman Haaland.
He said (Virgin Media Sport): "They're not the same team if he's not in the XI. He's just one of the world's best strikers. Probably is the world's best number nine, even, above Haaland, for what he brings to the team.
"His involvement in the side. He allows players like Rashford, like Bellingham to go and have the freedom to do what they want.
"England won't have a chance of winning the Euros if Harry Kane is not in it (the team)."
City wanted Harry Kane before Erling Haaland These are some interesting remarks from Dunne about Kane.
Of course, City famously tried to sign Kane in the summer of 2021, and the player even went on strike at Tottenham Hotspur in the hope of bringing the move to fruition.
In the end, Daniel Levy dug his heels in and was able to keep his talisman for another two years.
He would have scored so many goals in City's team had he signed. But City will obviously not have any regrets given what Haaland has done since coming in.
Haaland's goal record speaks for itself. But Kane is definitely the better all-round footballer.
