LONDON — Harry Kane marked his 100th game for England with two goals and celebrations with his family in a 2-0 win over Finland in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday.

Presented with a golden cap before kickoff and playing in gold boots at Wembley Stadium, the England captain was swarmed by his teammates after scoring his first goal in true Kane style. He beat a Finnish defender before unleashing a powerful shot which was still rising as it clipped the underside of the crossbar.

The Bayern Munich star's second goal came with an assist from one of England's new faces as Noni Madueke played the pass for Kane to hit a shot that took a slight deflection — not that it mattered to the crowd which gave Kane a standing ovation when he was substituted off soon after.

Carsley could yet remain in the position for a while longer if the search for Southgate's permanent successor extends beyond the next international break in October.

England is playing in the second tier of the Nations League and is level on six points at the top of its group with Greece, which beat Ireland 2-0.

Denzel Dumfries' goal helped salvage a 2-2 draw for the Netherlands against Germany in the top division of the Nations League.

Tijjani Reijnders' goal gave the Netherlands the lead after just one and a half minutes in Amsterdam, but Germany had the lead at halftime thanks to goals from Deniz Undav and Joshua Kimmich.

Germany and the Netherlands were familiar foes who have played seven times since 2018, and most recently in March.
