England boss lauds the striker's mentality after hat-trick performance in win over Bulgaria.

Gareth Southgate lauded Harry Kane's elite mentality and superb finishing after the England captain netted a hat-trick in the comprehensive win against Bulgaria.

It continues to look like a case of when rather than if the Three Lions seal Euro 2020 qualification after their third Group A match ended in a third high-scoring win.

Five-goal hauls in March's fixtures against the Czech Republic and Montenegro were followed by a 4-0 win against Bulgaria at a sold-out Wembley.

Kane was named man of the match after assisting Raheem Sterling and scoring the three others, with his first-half strike followed by a pair of penalties as he took his England tally to 25 goals in 40 appearances.

Meanwhile, Bulgaria counterpart Krasimir Balakov lauded Kane as "one of the best in the world" and had no argument with the result, even if individual errors left him frustrated.

"Before the game at the press conference (on Friday), I said that there is an enormous difference in the levels of the two teams," the head coach said.

"We were aware that England are an extremely good side and that's why we wanted to be as compact as possible.

"But I think all the four goals were our individual results, even though I think the result was fair."
