Harry Kane breaks England appearance record and will have Ballon d’Or win celebrated
Kane will surpass Peter Shilton’s 125 caps as England’s record appearance holder, adding another milestone to a year that brought him the Ballon d’Or.
On Thursday, England captain Harry Kane made his 126th appearance against Croatia at Wembley, surpassing Peter Shilton to become the nation's most-capped men's player.
Shilton, who held the previous record of 125 caps since 1989, joined Prince William for a special pre-match presentation honoring Kane's historic achievement.
Morgan Rogers netted the opener before Kane celebrated his Ballon d'Or trophy and scored a 64th-minute penalty, securing a 2-1 victory for England.
Thomas Tuchel's side secured their place in the Nations League quarter-finals after the victory, confirming England's qualification for March's tournament stage.
Kane targets 100 international goals as his next milestone, while England faces Spain on Sunday to determine the Group A3 winner and their quarter-final seeding.
Harry Kane transforms the decisive penalty in 2:1 against Croatia and leads England to the quarter-finals. Prince William congratulates him before the start. In Group 1 Italy replaces France at the top.
