Football | Fifa World Cup 2018 | Thursday | 21st June, 2018

Bournemouth striker Jermain Defoe was delighted for Harry Kane over his England winner against World Cup opponents Tunisia. Defoe knows Kane well after keeping a close eye on his progress through the Tottenham academy. “All Harry wants to do is score goals and that's why I love him so much, because I'm exactly the same," said Defoe to the club's website. “I had a great time at Spurs, left and now you have someone with exactly the same mentality, not just in games, but in terms of family around him, lifestyle...he just wants to play football, score goals and he lives his life the right way.

If you do that and have his ability, you can only do well. “Once again, when he was needed, he stepped up.

I wasn't surprised and I doubt anyone else was surprised that he did it again.

Hopefully now the whole team will take confidence from that and take it into the next game.

That's most important.".
