## England rout Croatia 7-0
Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka both scored twice as England demolished Croatia in a Nations League match on Saturday in Rijeka. It was the biggest win of Thomas Tuchel's England era.
## Kane extends goal record
England captain Kane's double extended his record goal tally for his country to eighty nine. The Bayern Munich striker was far from the only standout performer for England.
## Bellingham shines with assists
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham, restored to the starting lineup after Tuesday's two zero win against Czech Republic, was on target to cap a vibrant display featuring three assists.
## Gordon and Rogers add goals
Anthony Gordon netted to make it four goals in his last four England matches. Morgan Rogers completed the rout with a late goal from Bellingham's eighty seventh minute pass.
## Match played behind closed doors
The tie was played behind closed doors because of crowd trouble involving Croatia fans against France in twenty twenty five. Approximately six thousand local schoolchildren and one hundred England supporters were allowed in.
## Tuchel warned against complacency
England's players had taken a dip in the nearby Adriatic Sea earlier in the week. Tuchel warned the relaxed mood in the camp must not put his team into holiday mode.
