Harry Kane broke another record during England’s 2-0 win over Albania on Friday.
The Bayern Munich striker scored as the Three Lions opened their 2026 World Cup qualifiers with victory in Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge.
Kane is the first England player to score on his first appearance under three different England managers.
He scored on his international debut under Roy Hodgson in 2015 before also netting in his first match under Gareth Southgate two years later.
The strike against Albania took Kane England tally to 70 in 104 appearances.
He said before the game he felt people were ‘bored’ by his goalscoring prowess, but warned there is plenty more to come.

‘I’m just really happy. That was taken a little bit out of context,’ he said.
‘I know fans appreciate everything I do and love to see me out there in an England shirt.
‘It’s almost 10 years since my England debut and I enjoy it as much as my first camp. I love being here, I love being at Wembley.
‘I feel comfortable in this team and in this environment. Number 70, it’s a great achievement to hit, but hopefully a few more to come.’
Kane’s goal put the finishing touches on a comfortable, but underwhelming, win as Tuchel’s reign began.
It was not exactly the high-octane football Tuchel promised as Albania deployed a low block, but Kane said there were promising signs.
‘I think that’s maybe why he’s a little disappointed at the end,’ he added. ‘But then they were tough to break down as well. There were spells where they made it difficult.
‘That energy in training this week and with him in the meetings and everything has been at a high, high level.

‘I think you saw glimpses of it out there today. There were times when we counter-pressed really well and kept them pinned in.
‘But probably just with the ball, there were too many slow passes, and we didn’t quite get that same pattern to play with the ball.
‘But it’s an exciting time. It’s the first building block in a long year and three months ahead before America and we could be happy with how we started.’
