England's Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Bulgaria in a Euro 2020 qualifier at Wembley Stadium on September 7, 2019.
Published on September 8, 2019, Kane's second hat-trick for England took his tally to 25 goals from 40 appearances, putting him ahead of 1966 World Cup final hero Geoff Hurst on the list of all-time England scorers.
England's captain led the team to a 4-0 win over Bulgaria, scoring two penalties after the break and providing the assist for Raheem Sterling to get on the scoresheet.
"First half, we got caught on the counter a couple of times. We said at halftime we needed to try and come out and get an early goal and that's what we've done," Kane said.
"It's a good result we hope to take into Tuesday," he added.
England's Gareth Southgate's side have now scored 14 goals in their opening three Group A games and lead the table with nine points from Kosovo (8) who beat the Czech Republic 2-1 earlier on.
England host Kosovo for the first time on Tuesday when another victory will leave them looking virtually assured of reaching next year's tournament that culminates on home soil.
