Harry Kane scored his 92nd goal for England from the penalty spot to seal a slender Nations League win over Croatia, and he became the nation’s most capped men’s player on the same night.
Kane’s winner came after Jarell Quansah gifted Croatia an equaliser with a dreadful mistake. Here is how the England players were rated, with the averaged user scores shown separately.
Player ratings
- Jordan Pickford (6): Was left exposed by Quansah’s mistake for Croatia’s goal, but had been as reliable as ever before that.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold (6): Played within himself and linked up nicely with 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): Not in the original squad but started, and was unspectacular but largely reliable in the heart of defence.
- Lewis Hall (7): Made another effective contribution for England. He may now be the 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 expertly conducted the midfield.
- Jude Bellingham (6): Was 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): Had a historic night as the England captain became the nation’s most capped player, and he scored the winner from the spot.
- Anthony Gordon (6): Was sensational in the previous set of internationals and was less so here, but remains crucial for England.
- Ben White (6): Came on for Alexander-Arnold in the 78th minute.
