England's Euro 2024 qualifying campaign got off to a historic start with a first away victory against Italy since 1961, as Harry Kane broke Wayne Rooney's record to become England's all-time leading goalscorer.

Kane secured his place in the record books with a 44th-minute penalty against Gianluigi Donnarumma, taking his tally to 54 goals for England.

Declan Rice had given England an early lead after Kane's shot was blocked, and Kane himself made amends for his missed penalty against France in the World Cup quarter-finals by confidently dispatching his spot-kick.

Despite Italy improving as England's performance dropped, debutant Mateo Retegui was able to capitalize on a defensive mistake from Harry Maguire and score Italy's equalizer in the 56th minute.

England's chances were further complicated by Luke Shaw's second yellow card with 10 minutes remaining, but they held on for a vital win in Naples.

Overall, it was a triumphant start to England's qualifying campaign, with Kane's record-breaking performance providing a fitting highlight.

As the campaign continues, fans will be eagerly anticipating further impressive performances from the team.
