  "account": "Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka both netted twice as England demolished Croatia 7-0 in a Nations League match in Rijeka on Saturday. Jude Bellingham added a goal and created three more, while Anthony Gordon and substitute Morgan Rogers also found the back of the net. The match took place at the Rujevica stadium. Kane, who marked his 124th international appearance with his 88th and 89th England goals, is just one cap away from the record held by Peter Shilton. He will match the record if he plays against the Czech Republic on Tuesday and could surpass it when England face Croatia at Wembley on November 12. England currently sits level with Spain on six points in the group, but Spain has a game in hand and will face the Czech Republic in Oviedo later on Saturday.",
