England captain Harry Kane has warned Spain that the Three Lions are determined to secure top spot in their UEFA Nations League group when both teams clash on Sunday.

Kane issued the warning after scoring the winning goal in England’s 2-1 victory over Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, a result that kept Thomas Tuchel’s side in contention for first place in Group A3.

The Bayern Munich striker, who made history by becoming England’s most-capped men’s player with his 126th international appearance, believes the Three Lions have an opportunity to prove themselves against the reigning world champions.

According to GOAL, Kane insisted that England are determined to avenge their earlier defeat to Spain and finish the group stage on a positive note.

What Kane Said

 “It was an incredible gesture, the welcome at the start of the game. Once the ball starts rolling, the important thing is to get the victory, the three points.

“We played against a tough team, a team that wanted to prove their worth tonight. I think for much of the game we did well.

“We got a little tired towards the end, but overall it was a great victory that leaves us a great game on Sunday,” Kane said.

“Without a doubt our goal is to finish first. After the first game, when we lost here against them, we knew we could have done much better.

“We said to ourselves: ‘Let’s win all the games until the next one and see what happens.’ Now, on Sunday, we have the perfect opportunity to show what we are capable of,” the striker asserted.

Spain currently lead Group A3 with 15 points, three ahead of England, following their 2-0 victory over Czechia on Thursday.

The result means England must secure victory at the Metropolitano Stadium to draw level on points with the Spaniards, although the final standings would also depend on the head-to-head and goal-difference tiebreakers.
