๐ What happened
๐๏ธ England beat Croatia 7-0 in Rijeka on 3 October in the Nations League. Kane opened the scoring in the eighth minute, and Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka also scored before the break. Kane added another eight minutes into the second half, set up Saka's second, and Morgan Rogers completed the rout.
๐ According to Al Jazeera, it was the biggest margin of victory of Tuchel's tenure. The match was played behind closed doors because of past crowd trouble, with around 6,000 local schoolchildren and 100 England fans allowed in. Bellingham registered three assists.
๐ฃ๏ธ According to FCBinside, Kane became the first England player since 1948 to score in six consecutive away matches. He has 10 goals and three assists in his last eight games for Bayern and England, and Tuchel said he was almost lost for words.
