Kane, not for the first time, was England's saviour and bet365 rate the Tottenham hotshot 11-10 favourite to top-score for Southgate's men in next summer's finals. Dele Alli and Marcus Rashford are 6-1 shots, while it's 25-1 that no England player notches.

Scotland kept their qualification hopes alive with a dramatic 1-0 triumph over ten-man Slovakia with Martin Skrtel's own goal separating the sides and Gordon Strachan's men will finish second in Group F should they beat Slovenia away on Sunday.
