Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka scored twice each as England produced a stunning seven goal victory over Croatia in Rijeka.

England delivered a devastating attacking performance on Saturday, crushing Croatia 7 0 in Rijeka as Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka scored two goals each.

Reuters reports that England overwhelmed a Croatian side featuring veteran star Luka Modric, turning what appeared to be a difficult away fixture into a remarkable rout.

Kane once again demonstrated why he remains one of Europe's most reliable goalscorers, while Saka's two goals added to an increasingly impressive international record.

The margin of victory was particularly striking given Croatia's reputation as one of international football's most resilient teams.

Croatia reached the World Cup final in 2018 and finished third four years later, building its success around a technically gifted generation led by Modric.

England gave them little opportunity to control the game.

The result sends a powerful message about England's attacking depth and raises expectations ahead of their next international fixtures.

For Croatia, the seven goal defeat will require a very different kind of analysis.

A team accustomed to frustrating Europe's biggest football nations instead endured one of its most painful nights in recent memory.
