Harry Kane matched Peter Shilton’s England appearance record on October 6, 2026, scoring twice as England beat Czechia 3-0 at Wembley. The result strengthened England’s position in UEFA Nations League League A, Group A3, and moved Thomas Tuchel’s side close to the next stage.

A landmark night at Wembley

Kane won his 125th cap, drawing level with Shilton’s men’s record, which had stood since 1990. England Football said Kane reached the mark in 11 years and 193 days, more than eight years faster than Shilton.

The England captain marked the occasion with a decisive performance. His cross led to Vladimír Coufal’s own goal in the 27th minute. Kane then finished from close range before heading in England’s third after the break.

The two goals took Kane’s England total to 91. He was involved in all three goals before leaving to a standing ovation late in the match, according to England Football.

One point from England’s final two group matches would secure a quarter-final place, according to Sky Sports.

England build a powerful run

England have now scored 12 goals without reply across their last three Nations League victories. The sequence includes a 2-0 win against Czechia in Prague, a 7-0 victory over Croatia and the 3-0 result at Wembley.

Sky Sports reported that England need one point from their final two group matches to secure a quarter-final place. Spain remained ahead after beating Croatia 2-1, but England’s latest win left qualification within reach.

  • England beat Czechia 3-0 at Wembley.
  • Vladimír Coufal scored an own goal.
  • Harry Kane scored twice on his 125th cap.
  • England have scored 12 unanswered goals in their last three Nations League wins.

More than a personal record

For supporters, Kane’s milestone carried extra weight because it came with a convincing England performance. The team controlled the match, created chances from wide areas and kept Czechia away from Jordan Pickford’s goal for long periods.

England Football also recorded a coaching milestone for Tuchel. The Czechia match was his 20th win as England manager, achieved in his 26th game, faster than any previous England manager.

Kane can move beyond Shilton when England return to Wembley in November. For now, the record is shared, while England need only one point to turn a strong group position into qualification.
