England player ratings vs Croatia as rare 10/10 handed out after 7-0 thrashing

England produced their best performance of the international break to date on Saturday as they swept aside bogey team Croatia with an emphatic 7-0 win at the Stadion HNK Rijeka.

Thomas Tuchel's side built on their midweek victory over the Czech Republic with a far more commanding performance in front of 100 travelling fans.

Harry Kane opened the scoring after just eight minutes following some great work from Jude Bellingham, who soon doubled England's lead after being picked out by the tireless Anthony Gordon.

Gordon then made it 3-0, meaning the Barcelona man has netted three goals in his last three Nations League games.

It was a near-perfect first-half display from the Three Lions and just before the break, Bukayo Saka tapped in from close range after Bellingham managed to find him with a pass from the left-hand side.

Things didn't get much better for Croatia. The inevitable Kane scored his 11th goal in 12 international games when he converted Elliot Anderson's cross, and Saka bagged his brace with 22 minutes remaining.

To rub salt into the wounds, substitute Morgan Rogers made it 7-0 in the latter stages.

Here's how the players rated in their dominant win over Slaven Bilic's side.

Jordan Pickford – 6/10

One of the easiest outings of his England career to date. Not much more needs to be said.

Jarell Quansah – 7/10

A solid display from Quansah, who assisted Anthony Gordon's first-half header with a great cross from the right-hand side. All eyes were on the Leverkusen man after replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold. He didn't disappoint.

Ezri Konsa – 7/10

Croatia offered very little going forward, so it was a straightforward afternoon for both Konsa and Guehi. Still, they maintained their focus and avoided any unnecessary lapses, despite a distinct lack of pressure from the opposition.

Marc Guehi – 7/10

As mentioned above, Guehi was rarely troubled. Tidy in possession and responded well after a difficult couple of outings against Spain and the Czech Republic.

Lewis Hall – 7.5/10

If this international break has taught us anything, it's that Lewis Hall should be England's starting left-back for years to come.

Elliot Anderson – 8.5/10

Anderson and Scott complement each other so well. A midfield pairing for years to come?

A typically efficient outing from the Manchester City man. Barely gave the ball away. Positive in possession. Assisted Kane's fifth. Top class.

Alex Scott – 8/10

Another great performance from Scott, who has shown he is more than capable of pulling the strings on the international stage. Heavily involved in Kane's opener. So comfortable on the half-turn.

Deserves to keep his starting spot.

Bukayo Saka – 8.5/10

Saka has struggled for form of late but two goals against Croatia should do his confidence the world of good. Took his chances with conviction, which was great to see.

Jude Bellingham – 10/10

Assisted Kane's opener. Scored the second. Assisted Saka's fourth. Assisted Rogers' seventh. Involved in almost every attacking phase. England's main man.

Anthony Gordon – 9.5/10

England's most dangerous threat.

A constant headache on the left-hand side. Assisted Bellingham's second after a superb touch from a weak cross. Bagged a rare header after saying he was "the worst header of the ball you will ever see." This man can do it all.

Harry Kane – 9/10

It took the Bayern man just seven minutes to open the scoring after some great link-up play with Bellingham. He has now scored in six consecutive away appearances for the Three Lions, becoming the first player to achieve the feat since 1948.

Two goals. One assist. Another superb performance from England's all-time top scorer.

Substitutes

Eberechi Eze - 6/10

Replaced Harry Kane in the 70th minute. Didn't do a great deal.

James Garner - 6/10

Deployed as a left-back by Tuchel after replacing Alex Scott. Like the rest of England's defence, didn't have a great deal to do.

Morgan Rogers - 7.5/10

Found the back of the net with three minutes remaining. Took it well after rounding the keeper.

Morgan Gibbs-White - N/A

Myles Lewis-Skelly - N/A
