Tuchel: There are no words left to describe Kane (1:35)

LONDON -- Harry Kane said he has further records to break and feels he hasn't yet hit his ceiling after he became England's joint most-capped men's player in their 3-0 win over Czechia on Tuesday.

Kane, 33, scored his 90th and 91st international goals in England's comfortable victory at Wembley on what was yet another memorable evening for him. Kane's first was a first-time finish off a Morgan Rogers cross while his second came in the 57th minute as he nodded home a corner from Lewis Hall at the far post.

By the time he added to his record goal tally, it was already a historic night for Kane as he won his 125th cap, a milestone saw him equal Peter Shilton's record total. Kane said matching Shilton's record was "beyond my wildest dreams."

He added: "To join [Shilton] on 125 is an extreme privilege. I love coming to every England camp, I love playing at every game representing the country in the best way possible. It's not about me, it's about the team, but to get a couple of goals and help the team to win, it's been the perfect night."

But despite equalling the appearance record and stretching his own record number of England goals even further, Kane is still far from done.

"I hope there's still more to go," Kane said. "I guess only time dictates but I still feel like I've got room to improve. I've come off the back of my best season ever and right now I feel even in a better place and I feel I've improved in a lot of ways off the pitch, too. I'm not gonna stop, I'm gonna keep pushing and see where it takes me and then in 10 years' time, we'll see where the ceiling's at."

Kane is nine goals off the century mark in international football and he has that target in his sights. When asked what would mean more, the 100-goal mark or equalling Shilton's record, Kane said: "It's funny I've been asked this question from a few of the staff. I think to represent your country that many times is the extreme privilege. The 100 goals is maybe a more exclusive club and being a striker I think could be an incredible club to be a part of.

"I'm getting closer to the 100 now and it's there being in the 90s and I try not to think about it too much and it's like, I guess being a cricketer in the 90s, I think the more you think about 100, it's sometimes harder to achieve. I'm just going with the flow right now. I'm in a fantastic place."

Kane is the the fifth active player to reach 90 international goals, joining Cristiano Ronaldo (146), Lionel Messi (125), Romelu Lukaku (94) and Robert Lewandowski (92).

When asked if he could better Ronaldo's mark, Kane said: "Let's see how far we can get. That's an awfully long way away right now, but who knows, I'm in great shape.

"I've said before about some of the players who have played well into their late 30s and still at the highest level and, and even 40s now. It's season by season and as long as I feel like I can help the team and be valuable, I'll be around. We'll have to see if we can get to 100 first, and then we'll go from there."

Jude Bellingham put in another impressive performance and he hailed Kane after the match.

"There's not much more you can say that hasn't already been said," Bellingham said on ITV. "From my perspective first and foremost he is an unbelievable human being, as a captain and a man.

"He is the best England player to ever wear the shirt and it is an honour to play with him. He is pretty unmatched. He is scoring goals for fun, he goes deep and he gets tackles in. He is only getting better."
