England was merciless. At 5-0, the job was complete by halftime.
Chasing the golden boot, Kane relied on his heel to complete his hat trick by getting the faintest of touches to divert Ruben Loftus-Cheek's shot into the net.
England could afford to ease up and preserve energy but it cost the team first place on goal difference. Felipe Baloy slid to meet Ricardo Avila's free kick and score Panama's first World Cup goal.
Panama, beaten by Belgium 3-0 in the opening game, finally had something to celebrate, briefly.
