Video: Video: Scotland 2 – 2 England [2018 World Cup Qualifier] Highlights 2016/17

The Three Lions snatched a point from the brink of what would have been a disappointing loss at Scotland, much to their Tottenham striker’s delight Harry Kane reflected on a “special” equaliser against Scotland and thinks the dramatic World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park is a reminder for England to “expect the unexpected”.

A tense Group F encounter burst into life in the closing stages as Leigh Griffiths scored two late free-kicks to put Scotland into a 2-1 lead after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had opened the scoring.

But Kane – named England captain with Wayne Rooney omitted from the squad – levelled deep into injury time from Raheem Sterling’s cross to earn a point.

Kane bails England out, but needs help“It is a special day. To be 2-1 down in stoppage time, to get that goal is special. I was trying to get a good contact on it and side-footed into the net,” he told ITV.

“You have to expect the unexpected and we were 2-1 down from nowhere but we found another gear.“

It is a good point away from home. Scotland is no easy place to come.”

A draw leaves England top of Group F, with Slovenia three points back and Slovakia able to cut the gap to two with victory over Lithuania
