Harry Kane Breaks England Caps Record and Scores Winner at Wembley
Harry Kane overtook Peter Shilton with his 126th England cap, then scored the winning penalty at Wembley to reach 92 goals. Read the full story of his night.
Harry Kane has written another chapter in England history. The Three Lions captain made his 126th international appearance at Wembley, moving past goalkeeping great Peter Shilton to become the most-capped player in the history of the England men's team.
A pre-match tribute for the captain Before kick-off, Kane was honoured in a special ceremony. Shilton, whose record had stood for decades, was there in person to mark the occasion, alongside Prince William and members of Kane's family.
Penalty winner seals a perfect evening The striker then made sure the celebrations carried on after the whistle. Kane stepped up from the spot to score the goal that won the game for England, taking his own national-team scoring record to 92 goals.
The milestone means Kane now holds both of England's headline individual records: the most appearances and the most goals. It caps a remarkable international career for a forward who has long been the focal point of England's attack, and on this evidence he shows no sign of slowing down.
For England supporters, it was the kind of night that blends history with a result, and Kane was at the heart of both.
