Kane shared a picture of what appeared to be his daughters wearing matching red and white outfits displaying the number 9, while Louis is sporting an England kit with the word “daddy” on the back of the top.

“Three of my biggest supporters,” Kane wrote, with red heart and England flag emojis.

Speaking to the press after the match, the former Tottenham striker said he was “proud” of his teammates.

He said: “We spoke before the game about how difficult this game would be.

“You’re coming up against a good team who defend and watch really well. They were dangerous in the counter attack, as we saw in that first 20 minutes of the game.

“So we had to just grind a win out, and I thought we played some really good stuff after 25 minutes of the game.

“Their keeper made some incredible saves, to be fair to him, and you start to think maybe it’s just one of those days.

“But that’s where I’m most proud of the boys and myself as well, just to keep the belief, keep getting the ball into the right areas, and you know one of us will have our hero moment, and thankfully for me it was today.”

Kane made a whole generation of young fans happy as they were able to watch their first England match of the tournament as the last-32 contest in Atlanta kicked off at 5pm.

Wednesday’s clash was a lot more favourable for those viewers with school on Thursday and Kane said: “I remember being a kid and watching England growing up, and watching the World Cup, and just dreaming of being here one day.

“I try not to forget that when I’m walking out onto the pitch. An early kick-off back home, so I hope they’re still celebrating, and I hope they celebrate for a few more hours. They deserve it.

“It was a roller coaster game. I try and be the best version of myself, and I know there’s millions of boys and girls, especially around the world, watching a tournament like this.

“Leading by example is probably one of my biggest traits, and my biggest mottos I try and live by, so whenever I’m on that pitch, I just try and do my best for the country, and I know there’ll be enjoyment back home today.”

Kane once again joined his team-mates, linked shoulder-to-shoulder, to sing Oasis song ‘Wonderwall’ with the England supporters after gathering them all in a huddle and delivering a post-match team-talk.

He added on the BBC: “I told the boys to enjoy (the win). Sometimes, as an England player, when you go through tough games like this, and games you’re expected to win, you don’t always celebrate how you should.

“We’re the same as every other nation, we’re through, so enjoy it, you know? We’re in a World Cup, fighting for it all, for every moment, every little margin.

“I want the boys to enjoy it, enjoy it with the fans like we did, and then we go again in four days.”
