England 2-1 Croatia: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Three Lions Qualify for Nations League Finals

England booked their spot in the inaugural Nations League finals in 2019 after a dramatic 2-1 over Croatia at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.

Two late goals from Jesse Lingard and Harry Kane turned the game around for England, in a result which also condemned Croatia to relegation from group A4.

After just ten minutes, England had the first real opening of the match when Raheem Sterling was put through on goal, but the Manchester City forward could only direct his shot into the body of Croatia's keeper Lovre Kalinic. Harry Kane then bundled an effort over the bar from the resulting corner.
