Croatia celebrate after booking their place at Euro 2020

World Cup finalists Croatia sealed their place at Euro 2020 by coming from behind to beat Slovakia in Rijeka to top Group E.

Robert Bozenik opened the scoring for Slovakia before Nikola Vlasic struck back in the second half.

Bruno Petkovic and Ivan Perisic then netted to secure the hosts' victory and a place at next year's finals.

Wales can take the second qualifying place in Group E with a win over Hungary in Cardiff on Tuesday.

Slovakia, who saw Robert Mak sent off midway through the second half, can still qualify for Euro 2020 if they beat Azerbaijan on Tuesday, and Hungary and Wales draw on the same night (both 19:45 GMT).
