England maintained their flawless World Cup qualifying record with a 2-0 win over Serbia at Wembley Stadium.
The Three Lions of England have now scored 20 unanswered goals in their World Cup qualifiers.
Against Serbia, the Three Lions dominated the game in terms of possession and shots, but struggled to create clear-cut chances in a cagey encounter.
Bukayo Saka’s sublime cushioned volley set England on course for a victory against Serbia as their unblemished World Cup qualification campaign continued. Saka’s goal in the 28th minute was a result of a deflected effort from Nico O’Reilly, which fell kindly for the Arsenal winger. He caressed an inch-perfect volley into the far corner, silencing the Serbian defence.
Eberechi Eze doubled England’s lead in the 90th minute with a curling strike that added gloss to an otherwise timid evening for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
The win secured England’s place at the World Cup finals next summer with two games to spare. Serbia, meanwhile, are out of contention, with Albania securing second place and a playoff spot. Thomas Tuchel’s side will now face Albania in Tirana on Sunday, looking to maintain their perfect qualifying record.
