Harry Kane has added another historic achievement to his England career after matching Peter Shilton’s record for the most appearances for the national team.
Kane reached 125 England caps during the team’s 3-0 victory, moving level with legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton at the top of the country’s all-time appearance list.
The milestone came on a memorable night for the England captain, who also continued to extend his record as England’s leading international goalscorer. Kane’s latest goal took his tally to 91 goals for the national team.
The forward has now matched one of England’s longest-standing records, having already established himself as the country’s top scorer. His latest achievement further highlights his remarkable consistency and longevity at international level.
Speaking to UEFA after the match, Kane described reaching 125 appearances as an incredible moment and said he was proud to share the record with Shilton.
He also thanked his teammates and the England staff who have supported him throughout his international career.
Kane said reaching the milestone was a particularly special way to finish the international camp.
The striker made his England debut in 2015 and has since become one of the most important players in the team. Alongside his goalscoring record, he has taken on the responsibility of leading the side and remains a key figure for England.
Now level with Shilton on 125 appearances, Kane needs just one more cap to become England’s outright record appearance holder.
With his goalscoring record already secured, breaking the appearance record would give Kane another major place in England football history.
