Harry Kane may have ended on the losing side as Liverpool won Tuesday's Anfield thriller, but he is still the goalscoring gift that keeps giving for Tottenham - and for England manager Roy Hodgson.
Kane could not engineer another win for Spurs, as he did with his double under the gaze of Hodgson in the 2-1 win against Arsenal in the north London derby at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
And yet, even on a night of disappointment, he still showed his quality and growing maturity by scoring his 23rd goal of the season and setting up another for Mousa Dembele as Spurs went down 3-2 to Mario Balotelli's late goal.
Spurs fans sing of Kane as "one of our own", but he could soon belong to many more too. It seems a formality that he will graduate to full England honours when Hodgson names his squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier with Lithuania and the friendly in Italy at the end of March.
So what is behind his remarkable rise - and will his promotion to the full England ranks be as simple as it sounds?
