England achieved a historic victory over Croatia with a score of 7-0, in the match played this Saturday evening as part of the UEFA Nations League.
The "Three Lions'" triumph was not limited to securing points; it also saw two historic records broken after the seven goals that shook the Croatian team's net at their home ground in Rijeka.
Croatia's biggest defeat in history
England became the team with the largest victory over Croatia in the history of matches between the two sides, while the seven-goal margin marked the biggest defeat for the Croatian national team on home soil.
Croatia's previous biggest loss had been by a six-goal margin, when they lost to Spain 6-0 in the UEFA Nations League in 2018, before England surpassed this record with a 7-0 win.
This encounter is considered one of the most lopsided results in Croatia's matches since independence, as the English team managed to score seven full goals without conceding any.
Historic seven-goal away win
England's seven goals came at Croatia's stadium, granting the English team an exceptional away victory after scoring seven full goals into the Croatian net.
Harry Kane (two goals), Bukayo Saka (two goals), Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon, and Morgan Rogers scored for England, completing one of the "Three Lions'" biggest victories in recent years.
This seven-goal haul follows England's 4-2 win over Croatia in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, continuing coach Thomas Tuchel's squad's dominance over the Croatian team in recent encounters.
