Kane sets new milestone as England matches a 59-year record in Croatia drubbing | OneFootball

England thrashed Croatia 7-0 in the UEFA Nations League at Stadion HNK Rijeka on Saturday.

The Three Lions have now won nine competitive away games outside major tournaments for the first time since 1967.

Harry Kane scored the opener in the eighth minute, receiving a pass from Jude Bellingham and firing into the roof of the net.

Dominik Livakovic denied Anthony Gordon from doubling the lead, keeping out the effort of the Barcelona forward.

Gordon was involved in the second goal, sliding the ball across for Bellingham to tap into the net.

Moments later, the Real Madrid midfielder nearly returned the favour, delivering a low cross into the area, but Gordon hit his effort straight at Livakovic.

Gordon eventually made amends for his earlier miss, finding the net with a diving header from Jarell Quansah’s cross.

Mateo Kovacic then missed a chance to pull one back for Croatia. He dispossessed Elliot Anderson, rounded Jordan Pickford, only to slice his effort wide.

Bukayo Saka added a fourth before halftime, scoring from close range after receiving a pass from Bellingham.

England extended their advantage in the 50th minute as Anderson slipped a pass to Kane to tap the ball home.

The Bayern Munich striker has now become the first England player to score at least 10 goals in three different calendar years.

Bellingham squandered a good chance to join Kane on a brace before the hour mark, failing to hit the target from a promising position.

Saka made it six for England in the 68th minute, finding the net after a defensive mistake.

Morgan Rogers completed the scoring, running onto Bellingham’s pass, rounding the goalkeeper and slotting the ball into the net.

England are back in action on Tuesday, facing Czechia at Wembley.
