Jude Bellingham has praised Harry Kane as “the best player to have worn the shirt” following a remarkable performance during a historic night for England. Kane, who equalled Peter Shilton’s record for the most appearances for the national team, shone in the Nations League match against the Czech Republic on Tuesday, contributing significantly to the team's success.

In the match at Wembley, Kane scored two goals and provided an assist, with Vladimir Coufal inadvertently scoring an own goal from Kane's cross. This impressive display came on Kane's 125th cap, further cementing his status as a key player for the Three Lions.

After the match, Bellingham expressed his admiration, stating:

“I can only talk from my perspective and first and foremost he is an unbelievable human being. As a captain, as a man, he looks after every single person. He’s the one to take responsibility off the pitch.”
“And on the pitch he's the best England player to have worn the shirt. It's an honour to play with him.”

Manager Thomas Tuchel echoed Bellingham’s sentiments, remarking on Kane’s consistent excellence:

“It's what he does. I don’t take it for granted. He is just exceptional every single match. It’s difficult to find words for him.”

Kane was substituted late in the game to a standing ovation from the crowd as England secured a routine 3-0 victory. This win follows a 2-0 victory in Prague and a dominant 7-0 win against Croatia, placing Tuchel’s side second in Group A3, behind Spain.

With this latest result, England only needs to avoid an 8-0 defeat to Croatia in the upcoming November international break to secure their place in the Nations League quarter-finals in March.
