Croatia suffered the heaviest defeat in their history as England produced a stunning 7-0 victory away from home in the Nations League. Thomas Tuchel unleashed a star-studded attacking quartet of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane — and the hosts simply had no answer.

Slaven Bilic's side collapsed before half-time. Harry Kane opened the scoring after a brilliant assist from Jude Bellingham, who then got on the scoresheet himself. Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka added two more goals before the break to send England into half-time with an astonishing 4-0 lead.

The nightmare continued after the interval. Harry Kane completed his brace before Bukayo Saka punished a costly mistake from Josip Stanisic. Harvey Rogers then added a seventh to complete an emphatic victory for the visitors.

The result goes down as Croatia's biggest defeat ever and leaves Slaven Bilic facing intense pressure. After such a spectacular collapse on home soil, his position as Croatia head coach appears to be under immediate threat.
