Paces slowed down in second half and England created a few chances. However, the efforts of the Three Lions didn't pay off in face of a strong Tunisian defense.

England got a free kick opportunity in the 79th minute while Ashley Young's shot went over the bar.

In the 91 minute, Kane scored his second of the game with a well-placed header from close range which made England seal the victory.

The England captain hailed his teammates' performance. "We are proud of each other and in a World Cup you are not sure how it is going to go, but we have a great togetherness and are always proud to see it come off in the game. We never panicked, never looked like conceding another one and got what we deserved in the end," he said.

Tunisia coach Nabil Maaloul expressed his disappointment on the last-minute goal from England.

"If we were to get a draw it would have been an excellent result for us," he said. "But hopefully this will lead to higher levels of concentration in the coming games."

FIFA statistics showed that England made 17 attempts at the goal throughout the match, while Tunisia made 6. Ball possession was 60 percent for England and 40 percent for Tunisia.

Tunisia's goalscorer Sassi thought his team deserved better result. "We played a good match defensively. We played with five in defense during the second half which helped us to close the spaces. We will do everything against Belgium to win the three points," he said.
