Kane scores on record 126th cap as England beat Croatia 2-1

Harry Kane marked his record-breaking 126th England appearance with the winning goal as the Three Lions secured a 2-1 victory over Croatia in the Nations League at Wembley.

Thomas Tuchel's side opened the scoring after a slow start when Morgan Rogers bundled home Jude Bellingham's cross from close range. Croatia equalised after the break when a mistake from Jarell Quansah allowed Petar Sucic to score from a corner.

The Bayer Leverkusen defender made amends moments later, winning a penalty from a corner which Kane converted to put the hosts back ahead and seal England's place in the Nations League quarter-final.

Player ratings from Wembley

Jordan Pickford – 6: Not much he could have done with Sucic's goal, but did what was required otherwise.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – 6: Involved plenty in the first half when England built up more down the right, but saw his influence fade as the game wore on. Still plenty of eye-catching passes to suggest he can be a useful part of Tuchel's squad.

Jarell Quansah – 5: Had looked comfortable in the heart of England's defence before a costly mistake from a corner allowed Croatia to equalise. Went some way to redeeming himself only minutes later, winning England a penalty from a corner to allow Kane to put the hosts back ahead. Also made an important block late on to deny Ante Budimir.

Dan Burn – 6: A no-frills display from the Newcastle United defender – just what Tuchel would have wanted after calling the 34-year-old up at late notice. Dealt with Croatia's forward line well and almost got on the scoresheet himself with a header from a first-half corner.

Lewis Hall – 7: Another steady performance as the Newcastle defender continues to make his case to be England's first-choice left-back. Tucked in well to help Burn deal with Croatia's threat on the left side of England's defence and got forward well to combine with Gordon when he could.

Midfield and attack

Declan Rice – 6: Kept possession ticking over, but not the typical lung-busting display that many have grown accustomed to. Did get forward more after the break, and almost set up Kane with a cut-back inside the area.

Elliot Anderson – 6: Fired over the bar with England's first shot of the game, but was his usual dependable self in the middle of the park after a promising opening spell from the visitors.

Morgan Rogers – 7: The hosts' most threatening forward in the first half and was rewarded with his goal after a nice England move. Missed an opportunity to double his tally in the dying moments when he sliced an effort over the bar from the edge of the box.

Jude Bellingham – 7: Set up the opener and was constantly trying to make things happen when England weren't at their best in the first half. Not his most influential game, but still impressed.

Anthony Gordon – 6: Quieter than Rogers, but grew into the game in the second half when he curled an effort wide from the edge of the box.

Harry Kane – 7: Kickstarted England's opener with a super driven ball to Bellingham before getting in on the act from the spot in the second half. A perfect night for England's record-breaking captain.
