Harry Kane Sets England Appearance Record in Croatia Win

On November 12, Harry Kane made history by becoming England's most-capped men's international player, achieving his 126th appearance in a 2-1 victory over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley. The Bayern Munich striker celebrated this milestone by scoring a goal, surpassing the previous record held by former goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who had 125 caps from 1970 to 1990.

Before the match, Kane received a special presentation, with Shilton presenting him a framed England shirt, alongside Prince William. England initially took the lead with a goal from Morgan Rogers in the 24th minute, assisted by Jude Bellingham.

Croatia equalized in the 59th minute through Petar Sucic. Kane restored England's lead by converting a penalty after a VAR review.

This goal marked his 92nd international goal, including 27 penalties. The victory secured England's qualification for the Nations League quarter-finals, with their next match against Spain on Sunday.

Kane expressed that breaking the record was a significant moment in his career.
