Kane's penalty settles England against Croatia

Harry Kane scored the winning goal from the penalty spot as England beat Croatia in a Nations League match.
The Nations League is a competition between national teams. It is played during the international breaks, when club players head off to join their countries. A penalty is awarded when a defender fouls an attacker inside the penalty area, and the spot is the marked point from which the kick is taken.
Morgan Rogers also scored for England, the third senior goal of his international career. Croatia did level the match after a mistake by Jarell Quansah, and the defender was given a 5 out of 10 in the BBC's player ratings, the lowest mark in England's side. Kane, Rogers and most of the team were rated 6.
Declan Rice was back in the starting line-up after missing earlier internationals through injury. Dan Burn also started, even though he was not in England's original squad for the game. Burn was rated 6.
Two of the substitutes made their mark on the ratings. Ben White came on for Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 78th minute, and Rio Ngumoha replaced Anthony Gordon at the same moment. Both were rated 6 by the BBC.
The best mark of the night went to Lewis Hall, who was rated 7. Jude Bellingham, Elliot Anderson and Jordan Pickford were also given 6s.
For a side with several changes, the night gave some players a chance to show what they can do. Kane's penalty decided it, but the ratings suggest plenty of England's squad had a part to play.
