In Tuesday’s UEFA Nations League match against Finland, Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane earned his 100th international cap for England. Kane already sits atop the scoring leaderboard for the Three Lions but is now within 25 appearances of catching goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
Kane could’ve taken it easy on his historic night, but the competitive drive is clearly too strong. Kane broke the deadlock in the 57th minute and put the match away in the 76th minute. This is the 12th time that Kane has scored a brace or better for England, which is a staggering rate.
According to SofaScore (via @iMiaSanMia), Kane’s impressive evening earned him (another) Man of the Match award.
