Donald Trump delivers verdict on England's star man after historic win over Mexico
President Donald Trump has delivered his verdict on England's star man after the Three Lions' historic win over Mexico.
England overcame a hostile Azteca Stadium, a second-half red card and relentless Mexican pressure to seal a thrilling 3-2 victory and book their place in the World Cup quarter-finals in the early hours of Monday morning.
Thomas Tuchel's side will no doubt earn plenty of plaudits for their gritty victory - and one player in particular appears to have caught the President's eye.
Taking to Truth Social shortly after the full-time whistle blew, Mr Trump wrote: "Harry Kane of England is a GREAT player!!!"
The England talisman bagged his sixth goal of the tournament, calmly converting from 12 yards after Anthony Gordon was brought down inside the penalty area by goalkeeper Raul Rangel.
Speaking after the game, Kane described the occasion as "crazy".
"We had to fight and we had to find something. I've just been singing, I can't really talk," he told the BBC.
"The occasion, the team, everything against us, we found a way."
England's number nine also conceded a penalty shortly after scoring from the spot himself, after bringing down Brian Gutierrez inside the box.
However, the decision proved controversial, with Kane insisting he got to the ball first.
"The ref gave a lot against us. In the end it didn't matter, so I'm happy," he said.
Kane also praised the travelling England supporters, describing their backing as "unbelievable" and admitting he was left "speechless" by the reception they gave the players after the final whistle.
