Watch: Harry Kane crawls back onto pitch after taking a blow

England star striker Harry Kane’s video when he crawled back onto the football pitch after getting hit the ball in the midriff while helping his side defend two minutes into the second half against Italy went viral.
The Englishmen fell behind the line after taking the blow near England’s penalty box, however, had the presence of mind to get back into the field ensuring play would not have restarted until he recovered.
Kane became England’s record international goalscorer as his side began their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign defeating reigning champions Italy 2-1 in Group C.
England’s skipper struck a penalty past Italy keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma shortly before halftime to make it 2-0 and take his tally to 54, one more than Wayne Rooney.
Midfielder Declan Rice had opened the scoring after 13 minutes as Gareth Southgate’s side dominated the first half.
Debutant striker Mateo Retegui halved the deficit in the 56th minute as Italy responded in impressive fashion but England weathered a storm to secure a first win over Italy on Italian soil for 62 years despite having Luke Shaw sent off.
Italy, who beat England on penalties to win Euro 2020 at Wembley Stadium but failed to qualify for the World Cup, were far more dangerous in the second half after Argentina-born Retegui smashed a low shot past Jordan Pickford.
England sank deeper and deeper as they appeared to run out of legs but Italy struggled to create clear chances and suffered its first Euro qualifying defeat in 41 games.
It was England’s first competitive victory over Italy since 1977 and meant Gareth Southgate has racked up 50 wins as the national coach since taking the job in 2016.
