Bellingham hails Kane as England's greatest after milestone appearance

Jude Bellingham celebrated Harry Kane as England's greatest-ever player following the captain's record-equalling 125th appearance in Tuesday's 3-0 Nations League win over the Czech Republic. Kane equalled former goalkeeper Peter Shilton as England's most-capped men's player and added 91 international goals to his tally. Speaking to ITV, Bellingham praised Kane as an "unbelievable human being" and the best England player to ever wear the shirt.

Kane created England's opening goal and scored two of his own, prompting manager Thomas Tuchel to commend his consistency. Kane, who joined England in 2015, has since broken Wayne Rooney's scoring record and surpassed him as England's most-capped outfield player at the World Cup. With 14 World Cup goals, Kane is nine shy of the elusive 100-goal mark.

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane praised Kane's desire to score goals, calling him a "machine."
