Harry Kane thought England coped well with what he described as a "strange" atmosphere during the goalless draw with Croatia at the Stadion HNK Rijeka in the Nations League.

The Tottenham striker was talking to 'Sky Sports' after the 0-0 Nations League draw between England and Croatia. 

The hosts were being punished by UEFA for an inappropriate symbol being displayed on the pitch prior to one of their European Championship Qualifiers in 2015. 

The game was consequently played behind close doors, however Kane believes that England coped well. 

"It was strange playing with no fans but I felt we dealt with the atmosphere well and I thought we played well," Kane told 'Sky Sports'.

"Hopefully it's something we don't have to experience too many times in our careers.

"The first half was probably even but in the second half we really came into it and, had we been more clinical, we would probably have won the game."

The official attendance for the game was 0, however a group of England fans managed to watch the game form a hill outside the stadium.
