England head coach reflects on his team's display in the 7-0 victory over Croatia
Thomas Tuchel was left impressed by his team’s display after their stunning 7-0 victory over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League.
The Three Lions were in devastating form in Rijeka, finding themselves four goals ahead at the break thanks to goals from Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka.
Kane and Saka added their second goal each after the break before Morgan Rogers wrapped things up at 7-0 in the later stages, leaving Tuchel to describe it as a “complete performance”.
“From everyone, and from the first until the last minute, from everyone who started and everyone who came from the bench - that was the highest level and congratulations to the team,” said the England head coach.
“It was very, very impressive. We created so many chances.
“In the first 40 minutes we were so fluid, right from the start. I remember looking at the clock, and I thought, wow, this was a good first three minutes.
