England’s head coach Thomas Tuchel answered his critics in style on Tuesday as his squad delivered a stunning 5-0 win over Serbia in a World Cup qualifier.
The victory, which brings England within five points of qualification, was a major statement after recent uninspired performances.
Despite the absence of key players like Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, England’s attack flourished.
Noni Madueke scored and put in a standout performance, while Elliott Anderson broke a passing record with 182 passes in his first two caps. Morgan Rogers also impressed, giving Tuchel plenty of new options to consider.
The team’s performance was dominant, with 24 shots to Serbia’s three, none of which were on target. Harry Kane, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi, and Noni Madueke all found the back of the net.
