Key points
- Harry Kane earns record 126th England cap against Croatia
- Surpasses Peter Shilton's previous record of 125 appearances
- Extends international goal tally to 91
Harry Kane officially claimed sole possession of the England men's appearance record on Tuesday by starting in the Nations League fixture against Croatia at Wembley Stadium. Having tied Peter Shilton's long-standing mark of 125 caps the previous month, the star striker reached appearance number 126 to stand alone in national team history.
Since making his senior international debut in March 2015, Kane has been a central pillar of the squad's attack. Alongside his appearance milestone, the prolific forward has established a massive cushion atop the country's all-time scoring charts, boasting 91 international goals after netting six times across a four-game stretch in late September and early October. Wayne Rooney remains second on the all-time scoring list with 53 goals.
What to watch next: Kane will look to add to his record appearance and goal totals as England continues its Nations League campaign.
