Harry Kane doubles up on landmark night as England cruise past Czechia
It was a night that belonged to Harry Kane. Yet another one. It began with him being shown a replay of his first England goal during a pre-match interview with ITV – the header against Lithuania in 2015, just 79 seconds after he came on as a substitute for his debut. It ended with him reflecting on two more in what was a supremely comfortable Nations League victory over Czechia. Some things never change.
TL;DR
- Harry Kane scored twice in England's Nations League victory over Czechia.
- Kane has now scored 91 goals for England in his 125th appearance, equaling Peter Shilton's cap record.
- England's win virtually guarantees their progress to the Nations League quarter-finals.
- The first goal was an own goal by Czechia's Vladimir Coufal, assisted by Kane's cross.
- Kane scored his second goal with a header from a corner.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham also had notable performances.
- The victory helps England close out the current window with optimism after their World Cup semi-final defeat.
