Harry Kane breaks England appearance record and moves sixth for all-time international goals
Harry Kane is now England's most-capped men's player of all time after winning his 126th cap in a 2-1 Nations League victory over Croatia at Wembley.
The England captain moves clear of goalkeeper Peter Shilton, whose 125 caps were won between 1970 and 1990. Kane had drawn level with Shilton last month, scoring twice as England beat the Czech Republic 3-0 at Wembley.
The 33-year-old's record night arrives less than three weeks after he became the first Englishman in 25 years to win the Ballon d'Or. Ahead of the game, he spoke about his favourite England memories and named his 'biggest dream' as he chases major team trophies.
A Wembley send-off fit for a record breaker
Wembley marked the milestone before kick-off. A giant tifo of Kane was unfurled in the west stand, and the striker showed his Ballon d'Or trophy to the crowd.
Shilton handed over a commemorative cap, Prince William presented a framed shirt and Croatia captain Luka Modric gave Kane a glass-encased football. It was a replica of the first ball the English took to Croatia in 1880.
Kane also had a hand in the opening goal. Playing deeper in midfield, he slipped a diagonal pass through for Jude Bellingham down the right, and Bellingham cut it back for Morgan Rogers to score.
The appearance record sits alongside the goalscoring one. Kane passed the old England mark of 53 goals in March 2023, and the Bayern Munich forward now has 92 international goals.
He's now equal sixth for international goals in men's football, level with Robert Lewandowski. Romelu Lukaku (94) is the only active player ahead of Kane on the all-time list, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's recent retirements.
England play Spain in Madrid on Sunday, and a win would make Thomas Tuchel's side seeded for the Nations League quarter-finals at Easter, with the finals to follow next June.
