Overview
- England beat Serbia 2-0 at Wembley, with Bukayo Saka scoring before Eberechi Eze finished late from Phil Foden’s pass.
- The win makes it seven from seven in qualifying with 20 goals scored and none conceded, extending the clean-sheet streak to seven.
- Thomas Tuchel benched Jude Bellingham and started Morgan Rogers at No.10, explaining that Rogers better fits the current pressing plan.
- Phil Foden was used as a false nine after replacing Harry Kane and created the second goal, which Tuchel described as a genuine option going forward.
- Marc Guéhi missed out with a heavy bone bruise and has withdrawn before the Albania trip, while debutant Nico O’Reilly impressed at left-back and Trevoh Chalobah provided cover.
