Harry Kane has given England an early lead vs Croatia, scoring from the spot to make it 1-0.
England were given a penalty after a foul from Luka Modric on Arsenal’s Noni Madueke inside the box.
The captain stepped up take it but his first attempt was saved by Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.
While the save was good, VAR review showed that the keeper had stepped off his line a bit too early and the decision was made for the spot kick to be retaken.
Kane stepped up again and made no mistake the second time, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to make it 1-0.
