Roy Hodgson backs Harry Kane to handle the pressure after the 21-year-old scored on his England debut.

England manager Roy Hodgson has backed Harry Kane to handle the pressure after scoring on his England debut.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker is currently the Premier League's top goalscorer and is tipped to emulate his performances for the national side.

Kane's debut goal also helps England maintain their perfect record in Group E, as they beat Lithuania 4-0 in their Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley.

"I'm very pleased with tonight's performance and delighted for Harry Kane," Hodgson told reporters.

"There has been a lot of talk about him. It's been a great week for him, we're delighted to have him and let's hope it's the start of a long career for him. I think he will put pressure on himself because he's a good professional. I don't think he will buckle under pressure.

"The media spotlight has been enormous and he will have to accept it will do better. It's important we don't build him up to knock him down but build him up to be an important part of our future."

Goals from Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Raheem Sterling saw England cruise past their Group E opponents on Friday evening.
