England run riot against Croatia in Nations League rout

In a rout of Croatia during the Nations League match on Saturday, England scored an impressive 7-0 victory. Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka both netted two goals apiece, while Thomas Tuchel's side dominated the match in Rijeka. Kane's record goal tally for his country now stands at 89. Bellingham, Jude Bellingham, and Anthony Gordon also contributed to the impressive performance, with Gordon scoring four goals in his last four England matches.

The match was played behind closed doors due to crowd trouble involving Croatia fans in a previous game. England players had taken a dip in the Adriatic Sea earlier in the week, and Tuchel warned them against becoming too relaxed. The team showed no mercy after the break, with Kane scoring again and Saka adding a sixth goal. Morgan Rogers completed the rout in the 87th minute.
