What a night for Thomas Tuchel and England. We thought this would be a tough night for England but they have taken them apart.

Unreal stuff, it really is. Jude Bellingham with the pass. I thought the flag was going to go up. Croatia are on the halfway line with no pressure on the ball. It doesn't make any sense.
Morgan Rogers times his run and slots it in with his left foot. Straight forward, elementary stuff. The performance from Croatia has been really bad.

A fine first touch by substitute Morgan Rogers who sprints into the box before hitting his second goal in an England shirt, a really smart finish.
Croatia just want this done with.

Thomas Tuchel will be loving this. But you just know he will find something that England could have done better.
And he will be right.
They should have hit double figures.

That ball gets to Jude Bellingham in about three passes. It's been really potent stuff from England on the break.

Jude Bellingham, who has been outstanding, thinks he has won a corner. The German referee decides it's a goal kick.

England have done well tonight, but Croatia also have declined significantly, they are no longer an elite international team. The only problem for England is that this performance and result is in the Nations League, rather than the Euros or the World Cup.

The armband on Bellingham just looks right. Surely the right choice when Kane steps down.

It's been a really poor show from Croatia mixed with an England performance that has been of such a high level right from the start.

Now Morgan Gibbs-White is coming on.
In fact, it's a double change.

Toughest job tonight? Picking England's player of the match.
There are so many candidates.
Harry Kane turns away after opening the scoring for England in the Uefa Nations League tie against Croatia in Rijeka.
England delivered arguably their most impressive performance under head coach Thomas Tuchel as they produced a devastating attacking display to thrash Croatia in the Uefa Nations League clash in Rijeka.
In an international that was labelled as behind close doors as a sanction against Croatia supporters for previous bad behaviour, but which was attended by 6,000 schoolchildren and 100 visiting fans, rampant England ran riot to humiliate Slaven Bilic's side.
England recovered from the opening defeat by Spain at Wembley with a deserved win against the Czech Republic in Prague – but moved on to a different level to destroy Croatia, 108 days after a 4-2 win in the World Cup in Dallas.
Harry Kane put England ahead after eight minutes, ruthlessly punishing a mistake by Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol by taking Jude Bellingham's pass in his stride to rifle a finish high past Croatia keeper Dominik Livakovic.
Bellingham scored the second after 21 minutes, finishing from close range after Anthony Gordon did brilliantly to bring Bukayo Saka's cross under control at the far post.
Gordon added the third himself, his fourth in four games, when he scored with a far post header from Jarell Quansah's perfect cross.
As England pierced Croatia at will, Saka added the fourth on the stroke of half-time with another simple finish from Bellingham's delivery.
England did not let up after the break, Kane scoring again eight minutes after the break, sliding in at the far post to turn in Elliot Anderson's cross.
Croatia were not helping their own cause, more dreadful defending leaving Saka with a simple task to make it 6-0, substitute Morgan Rogers getting in on the act to give the scoreline an even more emphatic look after rounding Livakovic.
It completed a highly satisfactory night for Tuchel and England.
