Despite having home advantage, Serbia still proved too weak against a high-performing England team. Coach Thomas Tuchel's team completely dominated the game with 71% possession and 10 shots in the first half alone.
The Three Lions' pressure was rewarded with the opening goal after Harry Kane's clever positioning and header. The 1993-born captain's assist from the corner flag was provided by Declan Rice, who is familiar with set-pieces at Arsenal.
Kane maintains impressive form. |
The season has just begun but Kane has contributed to 9 goals and assists at all levels. In the England team alone, the former Tottenham star has scored 74 goals, 21 more than the second-highest scorer in the history of the "Three Lions", Wayne Rooney. Notably, Kane has only played 109 matches, 11 fewer than his senior, born in 1985.
Just 2 minutes later, the Serbian net shook for the second time. Noni Madueke, another "Gunners" made his mark with a strong dribble from the right wing, before finishing from close range, defeating goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.
Right at the start of the second half, the score was 3-0 for England. Anthony Gordon fired a long shot that the goalkeeper could not hold. Erzi Konsa tapped the ball into the net from close range, bringing home his first goal for the national team in his third appearance.
Things became easier for England, when the home team was down to 10 men after Nikola Milenkovic's red card in the 74th minute. Marc Guehi and Marcus Rashford scored in the 75th and 90th minutes, helping the away team to a 5-star victory.
The easy win at Rajko Mitic Stadium helped England maintain their winning streak in Group K with 5 consecutive wins, scoring 15 goals and not conceding any. The only defeat of the "Three Lions" under coach Tuchel was a 1-3 loss in a friendly against Senegal.
