Harry Kane scored four goals in England's 10-0 demolition of San Marino on Monday as Gareth Southgate's side made official its place in next year's World Cup finals in Qatar.

In truth England needed only a point against the soccer world's 210th and lowest-ranked nation to guarantee the top spot above Poland in Group I, so the only real question was how many goals they would deliver to mark the occasion.

Kane duly filled his boots, following up his hat trick in Friday's 5-0 win against Albania with four goals before halftime — including two penalties — swelling his England tally to 48 to move joint-third on the all-time list with Gary Lineker.
