Comments:

This was the first time that Croatia had conceded more than four goals in a home 'A' international.

Comments:

This became England's biggest winning margin against a team in the top 50 since the FIFA World Rankings were introduced in 1992. . Harry Kane had now become the first-ever player to score more than ten goals in three different years for the Three Lions. . England had now scored 17 goals in their last four 'A' internationals.
