Kane nets penalty to win Nations League match against Croatia; full England player ratings

Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot to secure a slender Nations League win for England over Croatia in a match on 12 November 2026. BBC Sport published player ratings for the game alongside a match report covering Kane's milestone night.

Kane's penalty was his 92nd goal for England and came on the same night he became England's all-time leading men's appearance maker. BBC Sport presented individual scores out of 10 for each player and invited readers to rate the players; the rater will close 30 minutes after the final whistle and, after it closes, the displayed score represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.

Jordan Pickford was described as being left exposed by Jarell Quansah's mistake that gifted Croatia an equaliser, having been reliable prior to that incident; Pickford was awarded a 6. Trent Alexander-Arnold "played within himself" and produced link-up play with Morgan Rogers down the right and received a 6. Jarell Quansah was labelled as making a dreadful mistake after being entirely comfortable up to that point and was given a 5. Dan Burn, not picked in the original squad but starting the match, was called unspectacular but largely reliable and earned a 6.

Lewis Hall was noted for another effective contribution and was rated 7. Elliot Anderson was credited with keeping things ticking over in the engine room and looking to play forward, receiving a 6. Declan Rice returned to the team after missing the previous internationals through injury and was reported to have conducted the midfield expertly; Rice was awarded a 6.

Jude Bellingham was described as not quite at the same outstanding level as in his most recent England displays but still "oozed quality in possession" and was given a 6. Morgan Rogers posed a threat down the right, was credited with a goal described as deserved and identified as his third for England at senior level; Rogers was rated 6. Anthony Gordon, who had been sensational during the last set of international games, was judged less so in this match but still important to the side and was marked 6.

Harry Kane's contribution on the night included the winning penalty and he was given a 6. Substitutions noted in the report were Rio Ngumoha (on for Gordon 78) 6, Ben White (on for Alexander-Arnold 78) 6 and James Garner (on for Garner 78) 6.
