FANS were left in hysterics as Harry Kane hilariously crawled back on to the pitch against Italy.
It was a memorable night for England as they beat Italy away for the first time since 1961.
And Kane’s first-half penalty saw him surpass Wayne Rooney as the Three Lions’ all-time record goalscorer on 54.
But viewers watching on will not forget one other brilliant moment involving the skipper.
Just two minutes into the second half, Kane, 29, took a ball to the midriff as he helped defend.
The blow appeared to knock the stuffing out of him, possibly winding him.

He went down but landed just behind the byline beside the England penalty area.
But despite his pain, Kane showed his quick thinking to get back on to the field of play, ensuring the game would not restart until he had recovered.
However, his superb army-style crawl – including crashing into a team-mate’s foot – looked more like something out of Johnny English than the England football team as he kept his head down as if he was hiding.
And dozens of supporters took to Twitter with a host of witty reactions – including references to being stuck at Tottenham.

Another wrote: “Blud is trying to sneak out of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to Allianz Arena.”
A third added: “Kane needs a revive.”
And a final user commented: “Brilliant from Kane to crawl back onto the pitch we need that s***housery.”
The referee was strict with any England attempts at time-wasting and booked several players.
That included left-back Luke Shaw who was shown a second yellow just 54 seconds after his first.
But Kane’s goal – after Declan Rice opened the scoring – proved to be the winner despite Mateo Retegui pulling one back.
Discussing his new national record, the Spurs striker said: “It means everything.
“It had to be a penalty, and once it hit the back of the net, huge emotion. A magical moment.
“It is the first time England have won in Italy for a long, long time.
“To be a part of that is amazing. I just want to say a big thanks to all my team-mates, the staff, the fans, my family back home and my wife.
