Harry Kane scored the winner in his record 126th appearance for England, sending his team into the Nations League quarterfinals with a 2-1 victory over Croatia on Thursday.

Kane passed former goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who played 125 times for England, when he started the match. He converted a penalty at Wembley Stadium to put England back in front five minutes after Petar Sučić had equalized for Croatia in the second half.

Morgan Rogers opened the scoring in the first half after Jude Bellingham played him through. The victory gave England a second win over Croatia in the group, following a 7-0 result in October.
