Harry Kane Scores in Record 126th England Appearance

Harry Kane marked his record-breaking 126th appearance for the England National Team with a goal in a 2-1 victory over Croatia at Wembley, securing England's place in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals. Chelsea forward Morgan Rogers opened the scoring in the 24th minute after a setup involving Kane and Jude Bellingham.

Croatia equalized shortly before the hour mark through Petar Sucic, capitalizing on a mistake by England defender Jarell Quansah. England regained the lead when Kane converted a penalty awarded after a VAR review for a foul on Quansah.

This goal was Kane's 92nd international goal, extending his record as England's leading goalscorer. The match was significant for Kane, who surpassed former goalkeeper Peter Shilton as England's outright record appearance-holder.

England remains second in Nations League Group A3, behind Spain, who defeated the Czech Republic 2-0.
