EnglandSummary
Generated byEngland produced one of their most dominant performances in years, dismantling Croatia 7-0 in Rijeka to send a powerful statement in UEFA Nations League A. The result, backed by 6.12 xG and 64% possession, was not a flattering scoreline but an accurate reflection of England's total control from first whistle to last. Thomas Tuchel called it a complete performance at the highest level, and it is hard to argue otherwise.
The attacking quartet of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon proved unplayable. Kane scored twice, moving closer to the 100-goal landmark Tuchel believes he can reach within 13 more appearances. Saka also netted twice and described the occasion as really fun to play in, while Bellingham's goal and three assists prompted Roy Keane to back him as a future all-time great. Luka Modric, by contrast, called Croatia's display catastrophic, underlining just how complete England's performance was.
There were squad concerns heading into the match, with Nico O'Reilly withdrawn through injury and returned to Manchester City, and Morgan Gibbs-White drafted in as an emergency replacement. Both developments highlighted the squad depth Tuchel is managing. Substitute Morgan Rogers scored the seventh goal and spoke of a new era taking shape. England now return to Wembley to face Czechia on October 6, carrying serious momentum.
