Five records England broke in stunning 7-0 win over Croatia

In a stunning 7-0 victory over Croatia in the Nations League, England shattered five records in remarkable fashion. Thomas Tuchel's team displayed a historic performance, leaving an indelible mark on international football.

Jude Bellingham stole the show with an extraordinary individual display, becoming the first midfielder in 33 years to be involved in four goals for England. The Real Madrid star not only scored but also provided three assists in Rijeka.

Harry Kane continued his relentless pursuit of goalscoring history, adding a brace to his tally against Croatia. Kane has now amassed 89 goals in 124 caps, making him the first player to reach 10+ goals in a single year for England on three occasions.

The team also set records for the biggest winning margin against a top-ranked side. This 7-0 triumph surpassed England's previous biggest victory against a nation ranked inside the top 50 of the FIFA World Rankings, a 13-0 success against Northern Ireland in 1882.

Finally, England's young talent, Elliot Anderson, reached another milestone in his rapid rise to international prominence. The 20-year-old midfielder became the fastest player to reach 20 caps for England, achieving this feat 392 days after his debut.
