Harry Kane needn’t have done much in this game for the night to still have been all about him, but England’s all-time record goalscorer saved perhaps his finest goal for his country for his 100th cap.Asked this week which is his favourite goal among the 66 (now 68) he had scored for his country, the answer — his only goal from long range, against Poland in 2021 — was a reminder that Kane is a natural finisher in the purest sense, more clinical than spectacular.What could be more fitting, then, than the way it all panned out on Tuesday night? The evening began with fellow centurions Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole presenting him with a commemorative 100th cap, and ended with him scoring twice — including his finest strike for his country yet. The eventual 2-0 win over Finland was richly deserved and made it six points from six in the Nations League.
