Morgan Rogers gave England a 1-0 lead against Croatia during their Nations League fixture at Wembley Stadium on Thursday evening.
Breaking the Deadlock
The Aston Villa midfielder opened the scoring in the 24th minute by finishing a slick attacking sequence that featured both Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. The attacking move started when Kane delivered a precise diagonal pass into the Croatian penalty area to find Bellingham.
The Real Madrid midfielder displayed sharp vision to sweep the ball across the six-yard box, eluding an attempted interception by Josko Gvardiol. Rogers capitalized on the opportunity, connecting with the loose ball on a right-footed volley that struck the turf before squeezing past Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.
Although the strike carried a touch of luck, it capped off a strong period of attacking play for the hosts and thrilled the home crowd.
