Kane’s Historic Night as England Thrash Czechia 3-0

Harry Kane marked his record-equalling 125th England appearance with a brace as the Three Lions defeated Czechia 3-0 in their UEFA Nations League clash at Wembley on Tuesday night.

Kane scored twice after helping England take the lead through Vladimír Coufal’s own goal, producing another outstanding display as Thomas Tuchel’s side strengthened its position in Group A3.

The victory gave England their third consecutive Nations League win after earlier victories over Czechia and Croatia. They now have nine points from four matches, three behind group leaders Spain.

The night belonged to Kane, who made his 125th appearance for England, drawing level with former goalkeeper Peter Shilton as the country’s most-capped men’s player.
