Harry Kane scored the only goal as England maintained their perfect start under Thomas Tuchel with an underwhelming 1-0 victory over Andorra in a World Cup qualifying clash. 

Kane's strike was his 450th senior career goal in all competitions for club and country, and it ensured the Three Lions remained top of Group K after three matches. 

The opening exchanges were a sign of things to come as England dominated and forced Iker Alvarez into two smart saves inside the first 15 minutes, with Jude Bellingham and Noni Madueke's efforts from distance being repelled by the Andorra goalkeeper. 

England's first big chance to open the scoring came in the 19th minute when Madueke's cross found its way to Curtis Jones at the back post, but his cutback was just behind Kane, who could not guide his strike on target. 

The Three Lions continued to press, with Bellingham again trying his luck from outside the box with a sweet half-volley before testing Alvarez with a flicked header in first-half stoppage time, but England went into the break level. 

However, England needed just five minutes after the restart to take the lead. After Kane saw his first effort saved by Alvarez, the rebound fell kindly to Madueke, who squared the ball for the Bayern Munich striker to tuck home from close range. 

Eberechi Eze almost marked his 65th-minute introduction with a goal, rising highest to meet Bellingham's clipped ball into the box, only to see his header tipped over the crossbar eight minutes after coming on. 

The influential Madueke should have added a second in the final minute of second-half stoppage time, but he was unable to convert substitute Morgan Gibbs-White's cross into the net in an action that summed up England's display in the final third. 

Data Debrief: Kane gets Tuchel out of jail

While the headlines on Sunday may be about the manner in which England got themselves over the line, Tuchel has done something no Three Lions manager has achieved. 

Indeed, the German is the first manager to win each of his first three competitive games in charge of England without conceding.

Overall, Tuchel is the fifth Three Lions boss to win his first three matches at the helm, after Ron Greenwood (first six), Glenn Hoddle, Sven-Goran Eriksson (first five) and Fabio Capello (first eight).

Kane's strike also saw him become only the second player to score in each of a manager's first three matches in charge of the Three Lions, after Peter Crouch under Steve McLaren in 2006. 

And despite a poor display from the visitors, Madueke put on an impressive showing at the RCDE Stadium. The Chelsea attacker ended the game with team-high totals for touches in the opposition box (11), chances created (four) and successful dribbles (three).
