Hat-trick hero Harry Kane and many more of his England team-mates reacted to their 6-1 thrashing of Panama at the World Cup.

Kane is now the 6/4 favourite with Sky Bet to win the Golden Boot after taking his tally for the Russia tournament to five.

They are now 9/1 with the online bookmaker to win the competition, 8/11 to top the group.

John Stones (twice) and Jesse Lingard also got in on the scoring as Gareth Southgate's men made history in Nizhny Novgorod.

Kane praised his Three Lions colleagues on Twitter, admitting '[I] love this team', while many others discussed preparing for the Group G finale with Belgium on Thursday.

See what they had to say, below...

Love this team. Proud of a first World Cup hat-trick. We keep going.
