Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has heaped praise on striker Harry Kane following his hat-trick for England.
The Three Lions saw off Albania 5-0 in the latest world Cup qualifier, with Kane bagging three of the goals at Wembley Stadium.
Henderson also got on the scoresheet, with his strike putting Gareth Southgate’s side 3-0 up, while Manchester United’s Harry Maguire was also on the scoresheet.
Kane’s hat-trick saw him become England’s all-time top goalscorer in competitive matches with 39 goals, overtaking the previous record of 37 set by Wayne Rooney.

Despite Kane scoring freely for his country, it’s been a different story for his club Tottenham Hotspur.
The 28-year-old has just one goal to his name in the Premier League this term, and Henderson has addressed the “tough couple of months” the striker has had recently.
“You can see how good he is as a player,” said Henderson, in his post-match press conference.
“Over the years, his goal record speaks for itself.
“In training, his finishing is outstanding and if you give him half a chance you know he’s going to take it. That was the case today.
“He’s clinical in front of goal and deserved his hat-trick.
“I’m delighted for him, he’s had a tough couple of months.
“So I’m delighted for him to get a hat-trick and hoping it can give him a bit of confidence now.”
