England 2-0 Finland: Harry Kane celebrated a century of England caps with a brace in a comfortable win for Lee Carsley‘s side at Wembley.

After a bright start from the hosts Kane looked to have given England the lead with a close-range header but the offside flag was up.

Kane again came close from a free-kick before challenging the goalkeeper with an overhead kick in the second half.

The Bayern Munich striker would finally get his goal just moments after, blasting his strike beyond Lukas Hradecky.

Kane then added a second to take his England tally to an unparalleled 68 goals in 100 appearances.
