Harry Kane has got a “special technique” on set-pieces which is why he will keep taking on corners.

Former England striker Alan Shearer has criticised Roy Hodgson for putting Kane on corners duty rather than putting him in the penalty box.

But England midfielder Jack Wilshere said: “He practises a lot on his free-kicks. He’s got a special free-kick. He’s got that technique where it goes all over the place. Not many players can do that.

“He’s worked on his corners as well and, for me, he’s good enough to take them. I’ve heard some people say they want him in the box.

“But if we get the delivery right, which he can, we have enough big players in the box who can win the ball.

"I think when you’ve got that special technique you can make an exception.”
