Harry Kane equals England record, scores twice in 3-0 win over Czechia
England's Harry Kane makes record-equalling 125th appearance and has a hand in all three goals in Nations League win.
At Wembley Stadium, Harry Kane became England's most-capped international player after marking his 125th appearance by scoring twice and assisting another in a 3-0 victory over the Czech Republic. The milestone came at the stadium where Kane's England journey began more than a decade ago. Kane celebrated the achievement by telling ITV, "He is the best England player to ever wear the shirt and it is an honour to play with him.
He is pretty unmatched. He is scoring goals for fun, he goes deep and he gets tackles in. He is only getting better."
Kane's performance at Wembley came after he broke Wayne Rooney's scoring record and surpassed him as England's most-capped outfield player at the World Cup earlier this year. He also broke Gary Lineker's England men's World Cup scoring record by extending it to 14 goals. Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane praised Kane's work rate, stating, "That desire to score goals, it's fantastic."
Shilton, whose cap record has stood since 1990, congratulated Kane on X, predicting that he will eventually break the 100-goal mark and set a record that won't be beaten.
