England’s 7–0 win over Croatia marks Tuchel-era high
Kane and Saka scored twice each as England recorded their biggest win under Thomas Tuchel and moved to two wins from three group matches.
England beat Croatia 7–0 in Rijeka on Saturday, recording what Al Jazeera described as the biggest win of Thomas Tuchel’s tenure as manager. Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka scored twice each, with Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers also on the scoresheet.
Kane’s double took his England tally to 89, according to Al Jazeera, and extended his run of scoring in six successive away matches for the national side. Bellingham also set up three goals, the report said.
The result gives England two wins from their first three Nations League group matches. They are seeking a top-two finish to reach the quarter-finals in March, but the source provided no group standings. England are due to face the Czech Republic at Wembley on Tuesday.
The match was played behind closed doors following crowd trouble involving Croatia fans against France in 2025. About 6,000 schoolchildren and 100 England supporters were admitted, according to Al Jazeera.
England had beaten Croatia 4–2 in June in their opening World Cup group game, the report said.
