England wing-back Kieran Trippier is adamant there is enough firepower in Gareth Southgate’s side to share the scoring burden if Harry Kane’s hot streak ever cools down.
Trippier and Ashley Young were charged with providing the width, and the crosses, in England’s 2-1 victory over Tunisia and each provided a corner which ended with Kane converting.With 15 goals in 25 appearances – including a record of 10 in 10 during Gareth Southgate’s managerial reign – the Tottenham forward is out on his own as England’s danger man in Russia.
“If Harry doesn’t score we’ve got players who can. We’re one team over here and we know we’ve got quality all over the pitch. We’ve got Marcus Rashford, Raheem, Dele, Ruben (Loftus-Cheek), they’ve had fine seasons, Jesse has as well and Vards (Jamie Vardy). They’ve had excellent seasons for their clubs and hopefully in this tournament they can provide some for us.” Trippier said
