Harry Kane equals Peter Shilton's record and scores twice

After his “perfect evening,” Harry Kane went into raptures. It was "a really proud moment, for sure," said the new England record player on the TV channel ITV. That was true for himself, but also for all the Three Lions fans who had seen "fantastic football from England" in the 3-0 (2-0) win against the Czech Republic.

As so often, Kane played a key role: first the captain and record goalscorer equaled goalkeeper Peter Shilton's old record with his 125th international match, then he led Thomas Tuchel's team to victory with a forced own goal (27th) and his international goals number 90 and 91 (40th and 57th minute). “As a striker you wait for opportunities like this,” said Kane.

The 33-year-old is “a legend of English football,” enthused his German team manager. Kane will “inspire countless young people to play football and encourage others to pursue a career like his and try their luck. He is a fantastic role model,” said Tuchel.

Tuchel also has a record

From the perspective of teammate Jude Bellingham, Kane is “first and foremost an incredible person, both as a captain and as a man,” said the midfield star. »He is the best English player to ever wear the national jersey and it is an honor to play with him. He is almost unmatched. He scores goals on an assembly line, goes deep and clears tackles. He’s getting better and better.”
