Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson got on the scoresheet on Friday night as England thrashed Albania in World Cup qualifying.

The Reds ace scored his nation’s third goal at Wembley as he helped them go 5-0 up by half-time.

Henderson played a one-two with Kane, which split the visitors’ backline wide open for the Liverpool man to score his second international goal.

In addition to scoring, the £20million man provided an assist for Harry Kane to get the second of his three goals on the night.

Henderson’s goal was also his first at Wembley, and BBC pundit Rob Green hailed his former international teammate’s effort.

“It is wonderful football,” he said on Radio 5 Live (12/11, 20:19). “Harry Kane repays the favour for Jordan Henderson.

“Kane’s clever feet, round two or three men in the penalty area and then, tell you what, for someone who is not normally known for scoring for England that is a very cool finish. Very composed.”

Harry Maguire opened the scoring for England in the ninth minute, while Kane netted in the 18th and 33rd minutes, plus in first-half stoppage time.

Henderson’s goal, meanwhile, came in the 28th minute.

Liverpool are back in action next Saturday – after England round off their qualifying campaign in San Marino – when they host Arsenal at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s charges are currently fourth in the table and will be eager to bounce back after a 3-2 loss to West Ham last time out.
