Southgate praises "exceptional Kane" after the draw with Germany

England's Gareth Southgate commented on the result of the Nations League game against Germany.

“To respond in the way they did was fantastic. I thought in the balance of the overall game the equaliser was well deserved. It’s an important sign for them as much as anything. We have seven or eight who got us to a World Cup semi-final, that’s why those players are so important to us because that core of the team put their bodies on the line for each other. On nights like this you have to do that to get a result.

Kane's finish is exceptional, isn’t it? The pressure at that moment, he trusts his technique, we have huge faith in him. Rightly the fact he’s got 50 goals will be the centre part of the story. But his all-round game, the way he led the line, the way he competed, the way he pressed from the front today, was exceptional.”
