Harry Kane netted two goals as England secured a dominant 7-0 victory over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League. The FA Bayern striker opened the scoring in the eighth minute, assisted by Jude Bellingham. England extended their lead five minutes before halftime through Anthony Gordon's goal, with Jarell Quansah providing the assist.
Kane increased his tally with a tap-in from Elliott Anderson's pass in the second half, while Bukayo Saka also found the back of the net in both periods. Manager Thomas Tuchel made a late substitution, removing his captain with 20 minutes left. Kane aims to start his fourth consecutive game for England when they face Czech Republic at Wembley on Tuesday.
In his club form, Kane has scored 10 goals for both his club and country since the season began. Morgan Rogers, a summer signing from Xabi Alonso's Chelsea, sealed the match with a late goal three minutes from time. Freiburg's Igor Matanović and Kane's Bayern teammate Josip Stanišić were among the substitutes for the hosts. Spain have secured both of their opening matches, while Czechia are seeking their first points in the tournament.
