- Bukayo Saka volleyed England ahead on 28 minutes before Eberechi Eze curled in a 90th‑minute clincher after a Bellingham-to-Foden move unlocked Serbia.
- England sit seven wins from seven in World Cup qualifying with 20 goals scored and none conceded under Thomas Tuchel.
- Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden started on the bench in line with Tuchel’s team-first mantra, then injected control and creativity late on.
- Debutant Nico O’Reilly impressed at left-back and Ezri Konsa shored up a disciplined back line, with England limiting Serbia’s clear chances.
