Whether you like him or hate him, Harry Kane was the star for England as he saved the Three Lions from an embarrassing draw against Tunisia by scoring a stoppage-time winner.
The Tottenham man had opened the scoring early in the 11th minute but Tunisia came back to level the scores via a penalty tucked away by Ferjani Sassi.
It looked like the Three Lions would not be picking up three points, until Kane headed in the winner which was followed by jubilant celebrations from the players, manager and the fans.
While Kane did do a great job as the lead striker, a lot of credit was also heaped on Jordan Henderson as the Liverpool man did his bit to help England to the win.
There was a lot of praise for the Liverpool captain after the game, even from rival fans, and here are some of the best reactions to Hendo’s performance.
I love Hendo, I don’t get the abuse he gets. The team win record with him compared to without him tells you how central he is. Always gives 100%

You lot slagging him off haven’t got a fucking clue. Kept that midfield ticking calmly, slotted some peaches of balls in behind numerous times, opened the play up with some nice 40 yard pingers, was defensively sound. One of the best players tonight. Keep it up Hendo. Top man.

Swap Dier for Henderson v Panama and then you’ll notice the impact Hendo had tonight.

Harry Kane and Kieran Trippier outstanding for England tonight. All set for the usual stuff after this – but also thought Jordan Henderson did really well too.

Henderson was very good and as you can probably tell by my profile, praise for Henderson isn’t something I do. He was great 1st half and certainly didn’t just ‘pass backwards’

Hendo class

Tough for Hendo with a non-existent Dele Alli. Did well indeed.

Extremely impressed by Henderson tonight.
Commanding presence, always making himself available, vocal as anyone, spurring the lads on when things got tough, strong in the air and pinging passes with confidence. I’d written him off a while back. I was wrong. pic.twitter.com/DhwQxxqqxK— Arsène’s Son (@hughwizzy) June 18, 2018
Jordan Henderson was superb for #ENG tonight. 👏🦁🏴

Kenny knew what he was doing when he signed him. He played well tonight & made some good passes!
