England striker Harry Kane has praised his side’s resilience and insists knockout football is all about finding a way to win.

The Three Lions secured their progression to the World Cup last 16 following their 2-1 victory over DR Congo.

Kane scored a brace to hand his side the victory and all three points at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Georgia.

England will now take on Mexico in the Round of 16 when they meet at the Azteca Stadium on Monday.

Kane acknowledged there is still room for improvement but stressed that progressing is the priority at this stage of the tournament, while highlighting the importance of players stepping up in key moments.

“It feels amazing to be honest. What a crazy game,” Kane told BBC Sport.

“They are a tough team and then after that first break we were much better and their keeper made some unbelievable saves.

“We spoke about people having hero moments and it can be anyone. It was me today. We spoke all week about just being ourselves.

“There are still things to work on for sure and these rounds are just about getting through.

“We are in the part of the tournament when you have to grind wins out, and that’s what we have done today.”
