Match Events
2' MISS! Rebic's shot over the crossbar from a good position
A shaky moment in defence as Delph's pass back to Pickford is short and Vlasic chases the loose ball. The England stopper charges off his line to narrow the angle but possession falls to Rebic, who drags a shot over the bar.
11' WHAT A CHANCE! Sterling's shot saved by Kalinic
MISS! Kane feeds a through ball to Sterling and he charges through on goal, forcing a save from Kalinic.
11' Kane misses a golden chance!
From the resulting corner, Stones' header falls to Kane inside the six-yard box but he cannot direct his effort on target.
16' CHANCES! Kalinic denies Kane's shot
SAVE! Huge chance for England as Delph clips a pass over the defence to Sterling, who is clattered into by Kalinic. The ball falls to Kane but his initial effort is blocked by Jedvaj, with Kalinic on-hand to make a save to deny Kane's second opportunity.
57'GOAL! England 0-1 Croatia (Kramaric)
GOOOAL! 1-0 Croatia! Brekalo feeds through Vlasic and he cuts a pass to Kramaric in the middle. He twists and turns before firing an effort at goal that takes a wicked deflection off Dier, looping beyond the reach of Pickford.
78'GOAL! England 1-1 Croatia (Lingard)
GOOOOOAL! 1-1! Gomez's long throw causes havoc for the Croatian defence as Stones flicks a header into the path of Kane, who stabs the ball under Kalinic. A deflection prevents the England captain finding the net but it falls kindly for Lingard to poke home from close range.
85'GOAL! England 2-1 Croatia (Kane)
GOOOOOOAL! 2-1! Kane has turned the game on its head! Chilwell wins a free-kick after being fouled by Jedvaj and the Leicester full-back plays a superb delivery into the middle that is crying out for a final touch. The England skipper duly obliges, sliding to poke home a goal that puts England top of the group.
Match Report
Harry Kane scored an 85th-minute winner as England fought back from a goal down to beat Croatia 2-1 and secure a place in the Nations League Finals.
A repeat of the 2018 World Cup semi-final seemed set to end in heartbreak for England again when they fell behind to Andrej Kramaric's deflected strike in the 54th minute.
However, substitute Jesse Lingard poked home a close-range equaliser with 12 minutes remaining, setting up a frantic finish as qualification was suddenly up for grabs again.
Captain Kane completed the turnaround, the striker overcoming a mixed performance in front of goal by poking home Ben Chilwell's cross from England's left flank.
