Kane praised his side's mentality to score goals and keep a third clean sheet in a row.
"Mentality was top from the beginning. Another knockout win, over the years they have not been easy for England," he added.
"We have a great mixture of youth and experience now. We will enjoy this one, but then our focus turns to that [France game]. It will be a really tough battle."
