This English soccer player celebrated his epic World Cup win with a song by Calvin Harris

Nizhny Novgorod — Harry Kane led England into the round of 16 at the World Cup then gave a nod to Scottish DJ Calvin Harris.

Kane was asked after England's 6-1 victory over Panama to pick a song to play on a Brazilian program as reward for his hat trick in the victory. Caught off guard by the request, the striker mulled the question from the Brazilian reporter.

"I'll go One Kiss by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa," he offered on Sunday.

Dua Lipa acknowledged the shout-out by reposting a tweet about Kane's selection.
