Kane scores winner but who else made an impression? England player ratings

How did England's players fare in the Nations League match against Croatia? Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel gives his verdict.

Harry Kane notched his 92nd goal for England from the penalty to spot to seal a slender Nations League win over Croatia.

Here's how I rated the players - and you can see how you scored them below.

Nations League: Kane scores England winner against Croatia on night he breaks caps record

Jordan Pickford - Was left exposed by Jarell Quansah's mistake for Croatia's goal. Was as reliable as ever prior to that. 6

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Played within himself. Some nice link-up play with Morgan Rogers down the right. 6

Jarell Quansah - Dreadful mistake to gift Croatia an equaliser. Was entirely comfortable up to that point. 5

Dan Burn - Not picked in the original squad but started. Unspectacular but largely reliable in the heart of defence. 6

Lewis Hall - Another effective contribution from the Newcastle defender. Is he now England's first-choice left-back? 7

Elliot Anderson - Kept things ticking over nicely in the engine room and always looked to play forward. 6

Declan Rice - Back in the team after missing the previous internationals through injury and conducted the midfield expertly. 6

Jude Bellingham - Not quite the outstanding level as his most recent England displays but still oozed quality in possession. 6
