On Tuesday, England captain Harry Kane became the 10th man to win 100 caps for the Three Lions, and he marked it in style.
He scored twice in a Nations League clash with Finland at Wembley.
Kane is England s record scorer, now with 68 goals for his country, and his latest accomplishment only cements his status as one of his country s all-time greats.
The Bayern Munich man has repeatedly outlined his desire to play on until his late thirties, and with the international game continuing to expand, he will surely fancy his chances of overhauling Peter Shilton s record of 125 caps in quick time.
As Kane joins an exclusive club of England centurions, we dive into the best Opta data surrounding his international career to date.

Frank de Boer said it is vital the Netherlands grow into Euro 2020 after they beat Austria 2-0 to reach the round of 16 as Group C winners.
A first-half penalty from Memphis Depay and Denzel Dumfries second goal of the tournament were enough for the Netherlands to qualify with a game to spare at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Thursday.
The Netherlands should have won by a more emphatic margin, with Depay wasting a glorious chance to double his tally in the first half.
De Boer s side will face one of the third-placed finishers at the Puskas Arena in Budapest a week on Sunday for a place in the quarter-finals after taking on North Macedonia in Amsterdam on Monday.
Netherlands head coach De Boer wants to see his side continue raising their standards after t…
Football s world governing body FIFA is in talks with authorities in Brazil about staging the 2010 World Cup there should South Africa be unable to host the event, a Spanish sports newspaper claimed on Thursday.
The South American country, which was chosen to organise the World Cup in 2014, has become the first option if South Africa is not able to organise the 2010 edition, the sports newspaper AS said.
FIFA has informed the South African government of its decision to consult the (Brazilian Football Federation) on the possibility of organising the next two tournaments, it said, without indicating its sources.
South African organisers remain confident of the nation s readiness for the first football World Cup to be held on the continent, despite delays in the…
Celta Vigo have completed a coup in securing star striker Iago Aspas to a new four-year contract.
Aspas has been a revelation for Celta since returning from Sevilla in 2015 for a second spell, and the club have acknowledged his inspirational form this term by tying him down until 2023.
The forward s career looked to be at a crossroads when successive seasons at Liverpool and Sevilla saw him score just two league goals in 30 appearances.
But a move back to Celta – where he came through the academy – saw him find his form again, scoring 14 LaLiga goals in the 2015-16 campaign and 19 in 2016-17, when he also helped the club to the Europa League semi-finals.
¡BOOOOOM! ¡ renueva y será celeste hasta el centenario del club!

Yuri Lodygin sees no reason why Zenit s impressive start to action in 2015 cannot continue when Torino visit the Stadion Petrovsky in the UEFA Europa League last 16 on Thursday.
The Russian side have shown no ill-effects after a two-and-a-half-month break from competitive football in recent weeks, cruising to wins in their three fixtures without conceding a single goal.
Two of those games were against runaway Eredivisie leaders PSV in the Europa League s previous stage before Zenit resumed their Russian Premier League campaign with a 3-0 victory over Ural on Saturday to maintain their seven-point advantage at the top.
Andre Villas-Boas side blew away PSV 3-0 on home soil in the last round and Lodygin has called for no let-up when Serie A s eighth-placed team v…
Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez is under-pressure after three winless games at home
This weekend’s Premier League clashes are in danger of being hampered by the great British weather. With snowing falling throughout Britain a large number of games could be postponed.
Anyway here are the games that are scheduled for this weekend. The two big games of the weekend Premier League schedule take place on Sunday. The early kick-off on Sunday sees Chelsea face Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s home form has been poor in recent games. Rafa Benitez’s side have failed to win in their last three games at home and have lost two of those encounters. However in their last two away games the Blues have scored nine goals.
The visitors have enjoyed an inconsistent sea…

Mario Gotze acknowledges he was wrong to reject a move to Liverpool upon leaving Bayern Munich in 2016, when the Reds were at the beginning of their rebuild under Jurgen Klopp.
Gotze returned to the Bundesliga this month, joining Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt after spending two seasons with Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven.
The creative midfielder, who scored the only goal of the game as Germany overcame Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final, became one of European football s hottest properties during a four-year spell with Klopp s Borussia Dortmund between 2009 and 2013, winning two Bundesliga titles and reaching a Champions League final.
Eintracht Frankfurt have signed Mario Götze from on a three-year contract until 2025.

Though October 31 is still more than two weeks out, I find myself in the Halloween sweet spot.
My younger kids are prime trick-or-treat age, which means fun costumes, jack-o-lanterns and the always tasty “candy tax” rolled out by parents everywhere.
My older boy, however, is beyond the innocence of the holiday. He’s more into the macabre of Halloween, which means introducing him to classic horror movies all month, giving me both the sweet and sour sides of All Hallows Eve.
And that’s where I gain inspiration for my Week 6 NFL Underdogs picks, handing out some point spread pups that fall in line with the tried-and-true tropes of scary movies. Follow along… IF YOU DARE!

The role of Indianapolis Colts quarterback has recently had a turnover rate on par with the big-screen portrayal of Batman. But, much like the film franchise finding its best Bruce Wayne in Robert Pattinson, the Colts have their best quarterback since Andrew Luck in Matt Ryan.
The veteran QB joins a talented team with a mighty big chip on its shoulder after watching its postseason plans go POOF! at the hands of the Jaguars in Week 18. The Colts’ NFL odds project a playoff year in Indy, but is this team built for much more in 2022?
Here’s our Indianapolis Colts 2022 betting preview.
