England sealed qualification for the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals on a night when Harry Kane moved past Peter Shilton to become the most experienced player in England’s history.
Kane keeps breaking records
Kane scored the second and decisive goal from the penalty spot against Croatia. The strike took his England tally to 92, leaving him two behind Romelu Lukaku and within reach of Ali Daei’s international record of 108.
He is already England’s record goalscorer, with 92 goals, and now also holds several other marks for the national team. Those include 16 goals in a calendar year, 14 World Cup goals and the England record for goals in the UEFA Nations League, with 13.
A decade in the England side
Kane made his England breakthrough under Roy Hodgson in the qualifiers for Euro 2016, scoring 80 seconds after coming on against Lithuania. He inherited the captaincy at the 2018 World Cup and has since made 98 appearances as captain, scoring 83 times.
The source also says Kane can still play until he is 40, after finishing runner-up at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. It adds that he may yet appear at Euro 2032.
