Harry Kane marked his record-equalling 125th England appearance in style, scoring twice as the Three Lions cruised to a convincing Nations League victory over the Czech Republic at Wembley.
The England captain moved level with Peter Shilton for international appearances while taking his goals tally to 91, strengthening his pursuit of becoming the first player to score 100 times for the national team.
England continued their impressive run under Thomas Tuchel, following up victories over the Czech Republic in Prague and a 7-0 demolition of Croatia with another commanding performance.
Kane helps England break the deadlock
England took the lead after 27 minutes when Kane played his part in the opening goal.
His cross caused problems in the Czech defence before former West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal turned the ball into his own net.
Kane then got the goal Wembley had been waiting for five minutes before half-time.
Morgan Rogers produced an excellent first-time delivery, allowing the England captain to apply a simple close-range finish and double the advantage.
Captain completes his double
Kane was not finished and added his second goal of the night 12 minutes after the restart.
The striker found space at the far post before rising to head home Lewis Hall’s corner and put England firmly in control.
His performance was rewarded with a standing ovation when Tuchel substituted him for Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the closing stages.
The double took Kane to 91 England goals in 125 games.
