Harry Kane scored a penalty to seal a narrow Nations League win over Croatia, and the goal, his 92nd for England, came on the night he became the nation’s most capped men’s player. Kane converted from the spot to secure the victory.
Croatia had equalised after a costly error from Jarell Quansah, who was the lowest-rated England player on the night.
Player ratings
Jordan Pickford 6: Was left exposed by Quansah’s mistake for Croatia’s goal, having been as reliable as ever before that.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 6: Played within himself, with some nice link-up play alongside Morgan Rogers down the right.
Jarell Quansah 5: Made a dreadful mistake that gifted Croatia an equaliser, having been entirely comfortable up to that point.
Dan Burn 6: Was not in the original squad but started. Unspectacular but largely reliable in the heart of defence.
Lewis Hall 7: Made another effective contribution from the Newcastle defender. Is he now England’s first-choice left-back?
Elliot Anderson 6: Kept things ticking over nicely in the engine room and always looked to play forward.
Declan Rice 6: Returned to the team after missing the previous internationals through injury and conducted the midfield expertly.
Jude Bellingham 6: Not quite at the outstanding level of his most recent England displays, but still oozed quality in possession.
Morgan Rogers 6: Posed a threat down the right and deserved his goal, his third for England at senior level.
Harry Kane 6: A historic night for the England captain as he became the nation’s most capped player. He scored the winner from the spot to boot.
Anthony Gordon 6: Was sensational during the previous set of international games. Less so here, but remains crucial for England.
Ben White 6: Came on for Alexander-Arnold in the 78th minute.
