Kane nets brace on record-equalling England cap
England swatted aside Czechia 3-0 as Harry Kane played a starring role on his landmark appearance.
Kane played his 125th game for the Three Lions on Tuesday, matching Peter Shilton as England's joint-most-capped player.
Kane marked the occasion in style, playing a role in all of England's goals in a routine Nations League triumph at Wembley Stadium.
England made a dominant start, though it was not rewarded for its efforts until the 27th minute, when Kane swung in a cross, aiming for Eberechi Eze.
Eze stalled his run, but Vladimir Coufal was unaware and, under no pressure, the former West Ham defender slid in and diverted the ball into the back of Czechia's net.
England doubled its lead in sumptuous style 13 minutes later. Elliot Anderson swept a sublime pass over the top for Morgan Rogers, who cushioned a wonderful first-time pass into Kane's path, and the Three Lions captain made no mistake with his finish.
Kane struck the top of the crossbar with a swerving strike at the end of a slick move shortly after half-time, but he helped himself to his second when he headed home unchallenged from Lewis Hall's corner.
Thomas Tuchel took the chance to hand some of his fringe players a chance late on, including Rio Ngumoha, who became the second-youngest player to feature for England at Wembley (18 years, 38 days), behind Jude Bellingham.
Czechia offered little threat, bar a stinging long-range drive from Roman Macek, as England eased onto nine points in Nations League Group A3, three behind leaders Spain.
