Jack Grealish was his cheeky self in the England dressing room

Jack Grealish received a telling off from an interviewer after a cheeky response to Harry Kane's goalscoring cetenary appearance.

England defeated Finland 2-0 at Wembley in their Nations League clash on Tuesday night with Kane grabbing both goals.


The Three Lions captain was playing his 100th match for England, scoring his 67th and 68th goals in the process.

It was nearly the perfect way to celebrate reaching the milestone before interim coach Lee Carsley brought him off, denying his hat-trick.

Nevertheless, Kane was over the moon to celebrate his centenary cap with a game-winning double and was elated when speaking to England media in the dressing room.

Sat next to him was Grealish and the interviewer asked the Manchester City star for a few words on his international captain.

Grealish responded in cheeky fashion: "I've seen a different side to him this camp! Nah, only joking. Unbelievable!

"I assisted, I think, his main goal against Germany..."

The interviewer cut in and said: "Are you seriously talking about that?!"

Smiling, the 29-year-old replied: "No I'm only messing. Unbelievable captain. Unbelievable guy.

"I think tonight showed what he's all about. Scored two goals for us to get the win so very proud to play with him."

Meanwhile, Kane reflected on his performance against Finland that saw him score two beautiful goals to lift Wembley in the second half.

The former Tottenham star said: "Pretty special night, you know. I couldn't do it without the boys in here. The staff, everyone.

"I think whenever you have a night like this you obviously want to go out there and first and foremost perform for your team.

"So if you score two goals it's really special. And yeah, I couldn't be prouder.

"It means a lot. It's been a great journey so far and hopefully many, many more great memories ahead."

Grealish was speaking about Kane's goal against Germany at Euro 2020 where the former Aston Villa man assisted the striker in the 86th minute.

That made the score 2-0 to the Three Lions and confirmed the victory with England going on to reach the final at Wembley.

However, they lost to Italy on penalties in heartbreaking conditions while England went on to make the Euro 2024 final three years later.

But Gareth Southgate's men once again tasted defeat with a late goal from Mikel Oyarzabal as Spain lifted the trophy for the first time since 2012.

That prompted the manager to resign from his post as England manager with Carsley stepping up from the Under-21s on an interim role.

While no decision has been made on a permanent successor to Southgate, Carsley has two wins out of two and will also lead the Three Lions over the next international break in October.
