Harry Kane celebrated his record-equalling 125th international appearance by contributing to every goal in England’s victory. The England captain matched Peter Shilton's all-time cap record, a milestone that stood for 36 years, by scoring twice and providing an assist in a dominant performance at Wembley.
The result reinforces England's standing in the Nations League as they conclude a successful international break under manager Thomas Tuchel. With three wins in four matches and 14 total goals scored, England now requires only one point from their final two games to secure a quarter-final qualification spot.
England took an early lead when Czech defender Vladimir Coufal redirected a Kane cross into his own net in the 27th minute. Kane then doubled the advantage five minutes before half-time, connecting on a cross from Morgan Rogers. The captain completed his brace in the second half, heading in a delivery from Lewis Hall to finalize the scoreline. While Spain leads the group following a 2-1 comeback win against Croatia, England remains in a strong position to advance to the knockout stage. Kane, who now has over 90 international goals, was substituted in the 80th minute.
Following the completion of this international period, the team looks ahead to their remaining group matches where a single point will guarantee their progression in the tournament.
