England swept past Croatia with a thumping 7-0 victory in the Nations League, recording their second win in three matches during this international break. The Three Lions had previously beaten the Czech Republic, following a home defeat by world champions Spain.
Kane and Saka shine in Rijeka
Thomas Tuchel's side capitalised on a poor performance from their hosts, who played in front of a 6,000-strong crowd of children due to a stadium ban imposed after fan misconduct against France in March 2025. The local Rijeka kids watched their team outclassed by England's stars.
Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka each scored twice, while Anthony Gordon netted his fourth goal in as many games. Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers also found the back of the net as England showed their ruthlessness.
England move up to second
The emphatic result moved England up to second place in League A3 of the Nations League.
