*ENGLAND QUALIFIES FOR 2022 WORLD CUP AFTER A 10-GOAL ROUT OF SAN MARINO*
Needing a draw from their last Group I qualifier to reach next year's tournament in Qatar, England went goal crazy on Monday as they scored 10 in a single game for the first time since a 1964 friendly against the United States.
Harry Maguire put Gareth Southgate's side in front early on before Filippo Fabbri's own goal doubled England's lead.
England captain Kane took charge after that, scoring four before the break to rewrite the record books.
Tyrone Mings headed his first England goal after San Marino's Dante Rossi was sent off, before Tammy Abraham and Bukayo Saka completed their country's record-breaking win.
Kane is the first England player to score four times in a single game since Ian Wright against San Marino in 1993.
After bagging a hat-trick in Friday's 5-0 win over Albania, Kane is the first England player to score three or more in successive games since Tommy Taylor in 1957.
Group winners England finished the qualifying campaign unbeaten in their 10 matches.
They will head to Qatar in 12 months established as one of the main contenders to win the World Cup.
