England striker, Harry Kane has scored his 67th goal for England in what is his historic night as he reaches 100 caps for the three Lions.
His goal in the 57th minute against Finland at the ongoing Euro nations league qualifier makes him the third player after Wayne Rooney to score in a 100th cap fixture.
It was a fitting way for Kane to mark the occasion and underline the importance he has had for England and the impact he can continue to have, despite criticisms of the 31-year-old’s performances at Euro 2024. “It was the perfect night,” Kane said afterwards.
Up until the breakthrough, Finland goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky had frustrated Kane with a string of fine stops. But England’s main man – who also had a header ruled out for a narrow offside in the first half – wasn’t to be denied on a night which saw him presented with a special golden cap to mark his landmark appearance. He is just the 10th player to hit that total for England’s men’s team.
