Harry Kane moves up the charts, Bendtner-mania and more – Football Weekly

We take a look back at the weekend of football just gone, starting with England’s 4-0 win over Bulgaria and Harry Kane’s leapfrogging of a few big names in the England all-time top goalscorer chart.

Wales stutter to an unconvincing 2-1 win over Azerbaijan, leading at least one panellist to call for his sacking, Scotland are unlucky to lose against Russia while the Republic of Ireland are given an unexpected boost as Denmark are held to a goalless draw in Georgia. Northern Ireland host Germany in a game which history would expect them to lose, but form could play its part.

We discuss the return of the Women’s Super League as attendance records are broken and the opening games are tight, suggesting that the league is growing in its competitiveness.

We finish with a Football League round-up, reports of Bendtner-mania in Copenhagen and a manager who’s quit from his role as he found the job just too “boring”.

Back on Thursday!
