Harry Kane breaks caps record as England reach Nations League knockouts

England beat Croatia 2-1 at Wembley to secure a place in the Nations League quarter-finals, with Harry Kane scoring the winner on the night he became his country’s most-capped player. The result leaves England second in Group A3 behind Spain and sets up a chance to face the world champions in Madrid on Sunday.

Kane earned his 126th cap, moving clear of former goalkeeper Peter Shilton, and scored his 92nd England goal from the penalty spot. Morgan Rogers opened the scoring in the 24th minute, before Petar Sucic equalised after an England defensive error; a VAR-reviewed penalty for a foul on Jarell Quansah restored England’s lead. Spain beat Czechia 2-0 and have already topped the group.
