Harry Kane sets England record with 126th senior cap

England captain Harry Kane became the most-capped player in the nation’s history when he started the Nations League match against Croatia at Wembley, marking his 126th senior appearance. The striker also scored his 92nd goal for England, securing a 2-1 win.

Kane overtook goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who held the record with 125 caps between 1970 and 1990. Before kickoff, Shilton, Prince William and Croatia captain Luka Modrić paid tribute to the England skipper, and a large Tifo was displayed on the West Stand.

Kane had previously equalled Shilton’s tally on Oct. 6, scoring twice in a 3-0 win over the Czech Republic. The record-breaking match came shortly after he was named the first English Ballon d’Or winner in 25 years, with the trophy featured before the game.

"It's achievable [to get 100 international goals]," Kane told reporters after the match. "It was another important goal to help us with the win. A nice penalty, I missed my last penalty at Bayern so the next one is always important to bounce back."

Statistically, Kane’s performance over his most recent 25-match block is his best to date, with a shooting accuracy of 55.8% and a conversion rate of 29.9%, the highest figures in any comparable period of his international career.
