Arabic version: ركلة جزاء كين الحاسمة تتوّج ظهوره القياسي مع إنجلترا

According to BBC News, Harry Kane scored his 92nd England goal from the penalty spot to secure a narrow Nations League victory over Croatia on the night he became the country’s all-time leading men’s appearance maker.

Kane received a rating of six from BBC Sport, which described the England captain’s outing as a historic night capped by the winning penalty. Morgan Rogers also scored, with BBC Sport saying the forward deserved his goal, his third at senior international level.

Lewis Hall was England’s highest-rated player, earning a seven after another effective contribution from the Newcastle defender. BBC Sport questioned whether Hall is now England’s first-choice left-back. In BBC Sport users’ ratings, Hall led England’s players with an average score of 6.75, ahead of Dan Burn on 6.72 and Kane on 6.60.

Jarell Quansah was rated five after a mistake gifted Croatia an equaliser, although BBC Sport said he had been comfortable until that point. Jordan Pickford was rated six after being left exposed by the error, while Burn, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Elliot Anderson, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon also received sixes.

Rio Ngumoha, Ben White and James Garner were each given a six after coming on as substitutes. Hall’s strong rating underlined an effective England display in which Kane supplied the decisive moment from the spot.
