England began their World Cup campaign with a 4-2 victory over Croatia in a lively Group L encounter. Harry Kane scored twice to put England ahead before Croatia fought back on both occasions through Martin Baturina and Petar Musa.

Thomas Tuchel’s side responded strongly after the break, with Jude Bellingham restoring the lead just two minutes into the second half after a surging run from midfield. Substitute Marcus Rashford then sealed the win late on following a swift counterattack.

The result gives England an early advantage in Group L and a valuable three points in their opening match.
