Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has hit back at his critics.

The England skipper scored his first goal at Euro 2020 in the 2-0 win over Germany.

The Three Lions will now face Ukraine in the final eight, and Kane wants to deliver again for his country.

Kane has told England's official YouTube channel: "I'm playing on the pitch for a reason so, of course, people from the outside, fans, pundits, the media are going to have their opinion.

"But I'm here, I'm doing it, I'm the one that trusts my ability 100 per cent - and I've worked hard to get to this point.

"I've not just been thrown on to that pitch for any old reason. I've worked hard my whole life, dedicated my whole life to be there. So when I'm out there I'm pretty focused, especially as a striker.

"When maybe you're not scoring, or the chances aren't coming your way, just be ready for the next one - and that's what has happened."
