The England captain extended his international scoring record to 92 goals as Thomas Tuchel's side secured their place in the Nations League quarter-finals. Kane moved clear of former goalkeeper Peter Shilton to become England's most capped men's international.

It was an emotional occasion for the 33-year-old, with Shilton and the Prince of Wales among those who honoured him before kick-off. Kane admitted the milestone had made for a "crazy few weeks".

"Of course it takes a lot out of you emotionally, physically and mentally," Kane said after the match. "Breaking the record is a massive thing in the history of our game. Seeing the tifo there, having my kids with me, and being presented by all the people was beyond dreams."

Kane explained that he quickly switched his attention to the match once the whistle blew, focusing on his responsibilities as England captain and striker. He was particularly pleased to celebrate the occasion with a victory.

"I've always said all these big milestones that I've had, when you win the game it makes it 10 times better and I've been lucky enough to win all of them, especially here at Wembley, so it's nice to do it again," he added.

England had thrashed Croatia 7-0 away from home 40 days earlier but faced a much tougher contest this time. Their victory sets up Sunday's meeting with Spain in Madrid, with Kane looking forward to another opportunity to test his side against the world champions.

Spain extended their unbeaten run to 43 matches with a 2-0 victory over Czechia on Thursday. They beat England 3-2 in the reverse fixture in September, leaving Kane determined to show how much his team have improved.

"After the first game when we lost here against them, we knew we left a bit out there," Kane said. "We said to ourselves, 'Let's win every game from now until the next one and see what happens'. It's the perfect opportunity now to try and prove ourselves."
