England thrash Croatia 7-0, Spain beat Czech Republic in Nations League

–

Neutral summary

England thrashed Croatia 7-0 in their Nations League Group A3 match at the HNK Rijeka stadium on 3 October, handing the hosts the heaviest defeat in their history. The match was played behind closed doors due to UEFA sanctions over fan behaviour, but around 6,000 local schoolchildren were admitted free. Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka both scored twice, with Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers also on the scoresheet, while Jude Bellingham was involved in four goals. England manager Thomas Tuchel praised a 'complete' performance and said the team had moved on from their World Cup heartbreak. Croatia captain Luka Modric said he felt shame for the first time and apologised, while coach Slaven Bilic called the defeat unacceptable. On the same day, Spain beat the Czech Republic 3-1 in Oviedo, extending their unbeaten run to 41 matches. Lamine Yamal scored and became the first player to score within the first 10 minutes of three consecutive men's internationals, with Rodri and Merino also on target. Spain lead the group with nine points, England are second with six.
