England beat Czechia 3-0 as Kane equals cap record

England beat Czechia 3-0 at Wembley on October 6, with captain Harry Kane scoring twice on his 125th appearance for the men’s national team, equalling Peter Shilton’s appearance record. The Nations League victory also left England close to securing a place in the quarterfinals, though qualification was not confirmed in the match reports. England took the lead in the 27th minute when Czech defender Vladimir Coufal turned Kane’s cross into his own net. Kane then made it 2-0 in the 40th minute, finishing a move that began with Elliot Anderson’s long pass to Morgan Rogers, whose first-time cross found the striker in the box. Kane completed the scoring in the 57th minute, heading in Lewis Hall’s corner. The goal was his 91st for England, extending his record as the team’s leading scorer. He had reached his 90th goal with his first strike of the night. Kane came off in the 84th minute as England saw out the win. The appearance milestone put Kane level with former goalkeeper Peter Shilton for the most caps by an England men’s player. He can set a new record in England’s next listed group match, against Croatia at Wembley on November 12, if he plays.
