In front of a crowd of children, the Three Lions schooled their dismal opponents, with first half goals from Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka putting the game to bed.

But rather than rest on their laurels, England kept their foot on the pedal and made it five shortly after the break, with Kane notching international goal number 88. And then after a horrible mix up at the back, Kane squared for Saka to make it six.

They weren't done there either, with Morgan Rogers making it seven in the final minutes of the normal time, inflicting Croatia's worst-ever defeat.

Jordan Pickford 6 Had a quiet night other than a few anxious moments but happily took a clean sheet.

Jarell Quansah 7 Anything Trent can do, Quansah can do the same. Lovely whipped cross to set up Gordon’s goal.

Ezri Konsa 7 Solid at the back and always provides a strong foundation for England’s defence.

Marc Guehi 7 Looked smooth, steady and his head back in the game after the Man City case.

Lewis Hall 7 Tenacious and quick, when England were under pressure he did well defensively.

Elliot Anderson 7 Excellent energy, nice partnership in midfield and only one rare mistake under pressure.

Alex Scott 8 Brilliant first start. He is so comfortable and elegant in possession. A huge career in front of him.

Bukayo Saka 8 A couple of goals to boost the Arsenal winger’s confidence and he looked sharper and dangerous.

Jude Bellingham 9 Just fabulous. What a player. He could go on to be England’s best-ever player. Goal and assists. STAR MAN

Anthony Gordon 8 Another goal, another terrorising display down the left. One of the first names on the team sheet.

Harry Kane 8 Another cap, another two goals. England’s Captain Marvel is closing in on 100 goals in double quick time.

Rogers, for Gordon, 70 mins 7 Made an impact off the bench and finished his late chance with supreme confidence.

Garner, for Scott, 69 mins 6

Eze, for Kane, 69 mins 6

Lewis-Skelly, for Hall, 79 mins N/A
