"Kane failed to shine as England laboured to a 2-0 win over Andorra at Villa Park on Saturday, their fourth straight win in Group K of UEFA's World Cup qualification process. Despite boasting an 82.8% possession share, England only had a Christian Garcia own goal and a second-half header from Declan Rice to show for their dominance, with Kane quiet. Kane's 12 touches were the fewest of any England player, despite the captain playing the full 90 minutes."
"We have a lot of options. We have Ollie, we have Harry, Marcus can play there, Jarrod Bowen can play there, Anthony Gordon played there for Newcastle. Phil Foden can play in the nine, Morgan Rogers can play in the nine. Let's see who catches form and catches fire in the Premier League or wherever and starts scoring. But yes, we have enough firepower there."
"Morgan Gibbs-White, who entered the action as England's final substitute in the 78th minute, had more than twice as many with 25. Kane's 12 touches were also fewer than 10 of Andorra's 11 starters managed, with only striker Cucu (11) having fewer. Andorra substitute Joel Guillen managed 17 after coming on just short of the hour mark."
England beat Andorra 2-0 at Villa Park, their fourth consecutive Group K win, with a Christian Garcia own goal and a Declan Rice header. England dominated possession with 82.8% but created limited clear chances. Harry Kane recorded only 12 touches despite playing the full 90 minutes, the fewest of any England player and fewer than most Andorra starters. Morgan Gibbs-White, a late substitute, had 25 touches, and Andorra substitute Joel Guillen managed 17. Thomas Tuchel said Kane is finding rhythm early in the season and expressed no concern, while listing multiple attacking options including Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen, Phil Foden, Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon.
