England 'got away with it' against Andorra - Kane

England captain Harry Kane stated his team "got away with it" during their 1-0 World Cup qualifier victory over Andorra, calling the performance "not good enough". Kane scored the solitary goal in the 50th minute in Barcelona against the 173rd-ranked team, securing three points despite a disappointing display.

England were booed by sections of their own supporters at both half-time and full-time. Manager Thomas Tuchel criticized the team's attitude, saying they "lacked the seriousness and the urgency that is needed in a World Cup qualifier". Kane acknowledged it wasn't their greatest performance but emphasized the importance of the win.

Kane highlighted England's need to improve "in all aspects, both with and without the ball", noting the dry pitch, warm temperatures, and humidity mirrored conditions expected at next summer's tournament. He described his goal as their best move of the match but lamented the frequent overhit passes that killed momentum, particularly in the second half.

England currently top World Cup qualifying Group K with nine points from three wins, ahead of Albania (4 points), Latvia (3 points from two games), and bottom-placed Andorra. Kane attributed the struggle against Andorra to fatigue, stating the team "looked a bit fatigued both physically and mentally" and were fortunate not to be punished for several half-chances conceded.

England's next match is a friendly against Senegal on Tuesday at Nottingham Forest's City Ground, kicking off at 19:45 BST.
