England 2-0 Finland LIVE RESULT: Harry Kane marks his 100th cap with a double as hosts win crunch Nations League match

ENGLAND captain Harry Kane has marked his 100th cap by scoring a delightful double to fire the Three Lions to another Nations League win.

And his two strikes fired Lee Carsley's Three Lions to a second successive win.

Also before kick-off this evening, England paid tribute to the late Sven-Goran Eriksson after the former Three Lions manager passed away aged 76 last month.

  • 10. England 0-0 Finland

    I can't say it's been the most exciting 10 minutes of football, but England have been by far the better team.

    Grealish and Gordon have seen plenty of possession so far on the left hand side, but the deadlock is yet to be broken.

  • 6. England 0-0 Finland

    Gordon has been quite the handful for Stahl so far on the left.

    It's been a positive start from England, with Finland barely breaking into the Three Lions' half.

  • 4. England 0-0 Finland

    Big chance for England in the early stages as Gordon sends a cross into the box from the left.

    Kane receives it at the back post and heads it across to Saka in the middle, but the ball is intercepted in the six-yard box.

  • Kick-off

    We're underway at Wembley!

  • Pre-match tributes

    The national anthems have been sung. Both teams are now participating in a minute's applause in tribute to Sven-Goran Eriksson, Kevin Campbell, Craig Shakespeare and Tommy Banks.

  • England starting line-up

    Here's a reminder of how the Three Lions line up this evening...

  • Fin art

    A Finland star will face England tonight while showing off his bizarre tattoo of Wayne Rooney.

    Striker Topi Keskinen has a truly unique design on his arm featuring the former England and Manchester United star on a FISHING trip.

    The Aberdeen star's tattoo pictures Rooney, wearing his famous No10 shirt, casting his fishing line into a lake, with a mountainous landscape in the background.

    The image also features two figures on either side of the retired striker, holding their fingers up.

    Keskinen, 21, grew up as a United fan, with Rooney his favourite player.

    And he clearly loved the Red Devils and England record scorer so much, he wanted him permanently inked on his body.

  • 'They expect attacking football'

    Discussing how he plans to approach tonight's game, England interim boss Lee Carsley said: "It's important that we are exciting to watch.

    "I think when fans come and watch England play at home, they expect attacking football, they expect chances to be created and to play with a tempo."

  • Kane receives special shirt

    Harry Kane will wear a special England shirt this evening to mark his 100th cap.

    The shirt has '100th cap' written on the inside underneath the collar alongside his legacy number which is 1207.

  • Carsley set to make multiple changes

    Reports suggest that former Manchester United youngster Angel Gomes will be handed his first senior start for England this evening.

    Rico Lewis, John Stones and Ezri Konsa are also set to start as Lee Carsley looks to kickstart his interim reign with back-to-back wins.

    Last weekend's goalscorers Declan Rice and Jack Grealish will likely keep their places along with widemen Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon.

    Harry Kane is poised to claim his 100th cap for England and will receive a golden cap ahead of kick-off.

  • Kane's favourite England goal

    Harry Kane revealed what his favourite England goal has been.

    “It’s between two, for me.

    “Against Germany, the one at Wembley in Euro 2020.

    “Also, the header against Tunisia at the World Cup in 2018.

    “That moment of scoring a last-minute winner at my first World Cup was special.”

  • Kane reaches a century

    Tonight’s match will mark Harry Kane’s 100th England cap.

    The 31-year-old made his international debut in 2015 and has since become the country’s all-time leading goalscorer, netting 66 goals in 99 appearances.

  • Tribute for Sven

    It is set to be an emotional evening at Wembley as fans, players and FA staff pay tribute to Sven-Goran Eriksson.

    The former England manager passed away last month aged 76 following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

    Eriksson managed the Three Lions from 2001 to 2006 and led the team through two World Cups and a European Championship.

    A video tribute is set to be played before tonight’s match and players will wear black armbands.
