Overview

• Harry Kane, Noni Madueke, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi and Marcus Rashford scored as England recorded five different scorers in a commanding display.
• Serbia captain Nikola Milenkovic was shown a straight red card for hauling down Kane before Guehi turned in from the resulting set-piece.
• Tuchel’s reshaped XI, featuring Ezri Konsa, Morgan Rogers, Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento, produced their most cohesive performance of the campaign.
• England moved seven points clear at the top of Group K and now require five points from their final three qualifiers to book their spot at the 2026 World Cup.
• Play was briefly halted due to a laser from the stands at the Rajko Mitic Stadium, a venue partially closed earlier in qualifying after FIFA sanctioned Serbia for discriminatory incidents.
