England Crushes Croatia 7-0 in UEFA Nations League

England inflicted Croatia's worst-ever defeat, scoring seven goals in their UEFA Nations League match. Thomas Tuchel's side showed a significant class advantage, securing a ruthless victory.

Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka each scored two goals. Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon, and Morgan Rogers also found the net, contributing to the lopsided scoreline.

England took an early lead and added five more goals without conceding, demonstrating a commanding performance throughout the match.

The win places England second in their group, level on points with Spain but having played one more game.

England's Early Dominance

Anthony Gordon tested the Croatian goalkeeper early on. A misplaced pass from Josko Gvardiol led to an England opportunity, with Jude Bellingham setting up Harry Kane for the opening goal.

Gordon's subsequent effort was saved, but England maintained pressure. Gordon later assisted Bellingham for the second goal, tapping in a low cross.

Gordon then scored himself, heading in Jarell Quansah's delivery. The match was played behind closed doors, with only a limited number of spectators allowed.

Croatia's Mateo Kovacic missed a clear chance. Moments before halftime, Bellingham crossed for Saka to extend England's lead to four.

Second-Half Onslaught

The second half continued in the same vein. Harry Kane scored his second in the 53rd minute from Elliot Anderson's cross.

After Bellingham missed another chance, Saka secured his brace amidst defensive errors from Croatia, making it six.

Tuchel substituted key players to manage fitness. Morgan Rogers, a substitute, scored England's seventh goal after rounding the goalkeeper, sealing a decisive victory.
