Harry Kane has established himself as England's most-capped men's player after making his 126th appearance for the national team. The milestone performance saw him overtake the previous record held by Peter Shilton.

The historic occasion took place during a Nations League fixture against Croatia at Wembley. While England had previously defeated Croatia 7-0 in Rijeka, the return match proved to be a more challenging encounter. Despite a lack of intensity in the match, Kane ultimately decided the outcome by scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 victory.

Reflecting on the achievement after the final whistle, Kane described the recent weeks as a whirlwind. In addition to his new appearance record, the forward remains England's all-time leading goalscorer.
