By Felo News Desk · Published
Harry Kane tied Peter Shilton’s record of 125 caps for England and helped the Three Lions to a 3‑0 Nations League win over the Czech Republic at Wembley on 6 October, Standard reported.
What happened
Kane captained England for a second time, scoring two goals and providing the assist for the third. The first goal came after a cross that forced Czech defender Vladimir Coufal into an own‑goal. The second was a powerful strike following a slick move involving Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers. The third came from a Lewis Hall corner that Kane headed past goalkeeper Lukáš Hrádecký.
What the reports add
Standard highlighted that the own‑goal was a “sublime cross into the corridor of uncertainty” and noted that Kane became the oldest player to score a brace in successive England appearances. The outlet also mentioned a debate over whether Chelsea’s Morgan Rogers or Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka should start on the right wing, noting Rogers’ contribution to the second goal.
What was said
The article recorded Kane pointing at Rogers after the assist and praising his delivery, though it did not quote him directly.
How it came about
England entered the match after manager Thomas Tuchel had discussed squad selection options, including lower‑division players, in the days leading up to the Nations League fixtures. The win follows a 2‑0 victory over the Czech Republic earlier in the break and precedes a clash with Croatia in Rijeka.
