In the Nations League on Tuesday, a 2-0 victory over Finland was secured by Kane incredible double, making his 100th England cap celebration really unforgettable.

In March 2023, Kane broke the record for most goals scored in England. The Bayern Munich forward currently has 68 goals to his name.
Spurred on by NFL star Tom Brady and Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently scored his 901st goal in his career, Kane isn’t slowing down in his record-breaking career.
While Kane received most of the attention, Carsley, who led his team to a 2-0 victory over Ireland in his debut game in charge on Saturday, also had a positive day.
Since Fabio Capello in 2008, Carsley is the only manager of England to win his opening two matches in a competitive capacity.
