Newcastle United fullback Kieran Trippier has paid tribute to England captain Harry Kane.

The Tottenham striker's goal in the 1-1 draw with Germany made him just the second man to reach 50 goals for England.

"He is special and I am privileged to have played with him for club and country," he said. "Fifty goals is incredible. He's a top pro and a great leader. There are only a couple more goals to go for Harry (until he breaks Rooney's record).

"I think after the result against Hungary we had to show great character in this game, we had to step it up and we knew it was going to be a difficult place to come to. It was about handling the pressure at certain times and I thought we did that. Harry stepped up as always.

"When you need somebody to score a goal, he's there. We are walking in after a game away to Germany disappointed we didn't get the three points."
