Kane sealed the result in the 66th by firing in the rebound after Leroy Sané drew a save from Provedel. It was the England captain’s sixth Champions League goal this season.

Elsewhere Paris St Germain's Kylian Mbappe scored twice to lead them into the Champions League quarter-finals with a comfortable
