00:01So it's going to be very difficult now. Of course, you'd have to freshen up.
00:05The only time they've ever threatened is actually when England have given the ball away.
00:09Or they've pressed them well enough.
00:11You may be thinking, I don't know, Mitrovic to bring on maybe two up front to get the ball up into Mitrovic.
00:15Because Vlaevic hasn't really done anything.
00:17They haven't really got themselves going in any kind of forward area to pitch.
00:21So you feel like they need something else up there. Can they go more direct?
00:24They look really fearful. You know, some of the interviews before the game,
00:27and I know you have to respect the opposition, but they look fearful.
00:30They're scared of us.
00:31They look like scared of England.
00:32Well, the team selection suggested that, didn't they?
00:35Well, I kind of maybe understand that a little bit, but the manager that torn in the interviews,
00:38were like, oh, England are this, England are that.
00:40Again, I've mentioned, yeah, you respect the opposition, but they look really fearful.
00:44They're scared of us, and they've every right to be.
00:46Well, obviously England have warned the World Cup.
00:49Just cancelled the World Cup.
00:51Who's going to be the runners-up?
00:52That's the question.
00:53Who's going to be a runner-up, yeah.
00:55Same again, England. Put your foot down now.
00:57Yeah, yeah.
00:58See another side to them again. We've seen it.
01:00They've got in front the last four or five games they've played, and just ease off.
01:03Yeah.
01:04Let's see a different mentality in England tonight.
01:05Keep going for it, particularly for the attacking players.
01:07They must see the chance to get some goals here.
01:09The exciting thing for England is, at home, Palmer, Foden, Saka, Bellingham, all at home.
01:14Even the players tonight, the attacking players have realized tonight, this is your opportunity.
01:18Absolutely.
01:19And they have so far, but still an important 45 minutes coming up from.
01:22Back to Belgrade, then Lee Dixon, Sam Matterface with the second half.
01:26Thank you very much, Mark. I enjoyed that.
01:32England's not regular visitors to Serbia.
01:35They haven't been here since the breakup of the former Yugoslavia.
01:39When they did, they won this game 4-1 and went to Euro 88.
01:44They had a really good first half that night, as well.
01:47Dr. Stojkovic, who played that evening, has responded by bringing on Kostic.
01:53And Muka Jovic at the start of the second half.
01:57Bermanshevic, who has gone on, so it will be Kostic at left wing-back.
02:05The Nelkovic has been replaced as well, so Zivkovic will return to his more familiar right wing-back position, as well.
02:12And it's a little bit more conventional from Serbia ahead of the second half.
02:19Well, before tonight, they hadn't lost here for two years.
02:25England hoping to ensure that they will be the first to escape here with three points.
02:35Giving away an early free kick, but as the boys have been saying in the studio,
02:38don't take your foot off the gas now.
02:40Oh, absolutely. Isn't it nice to have a happy studio?
02:43We haven't had one of them for a while.
02:46But, yeah, I agree with everything they said.
02:48It's really important, 45 minutes.
02:51They've done the hard work getting ahead at a place like this,
02:55when everything was against them with all those players behind the ball,
02:58but they broke through and created chances.
03:01They were very, very good in that first half.
03:02More of that.
03:03Well, first test for the England defence at the start of the second half.
03:09Kostic about to swing a free kick.
03:13Pavlovich is up from the back, so is Milenkovic.
03:16It's aimed in towards that far post, but it's Harry Kane who gets it away.
03:24Leverimento trying to tuck that through to Anderson.
03:27It was good defending by Nottingham Forest's team-mate Milenkovic,
03:31who just is having a word with Anderson.
03:32Anderson is down.
03:38It looked like he'd caught him after he'd slid for the ball then.
03:45He looked in quite a bit of pain when he landed right on his hip, by the look of it.
03:50Left hip.
03:52Yeah, he landed on the top of Milenkovic.
04:02He's all right.
04:08And that's good news for England because he has played well again tonight.
04:15They have to maintain that.
04:19Serbia beat Austria here, they've beaten Switzerland, they've held Spain here.
04:25Not so long ago, back in September.
04:28It'll be a statement if England were to win here tonight.
04:33Really good positioning.
04:35From Konza.
04:36He just...
04:38wrestled.
04:41Blaivic to the ground, stuck his body in.
04:44Stich did the same to Madooke.
04:46Rob possession for Serbia.
04:47There's lots of space for Zipkovic far side.
04:52A bit more adventure about them in the second half.
04:55Really looking apparent, but Livramento dealing with a threat.
04:57Lich wanted the foul, he's not going to get it.
05:01Gordon tries to keep it in.
05:03England give it away.
05:05Ball sent in towards Blaivic.
05:07It's away by Gate.
05:13Gate.
05:14Bicious ball for Madooke to chase.
05:18Madooke just going to lose out to the rather powerful Pavlovich.
05:24He did well, Pavlovich, because Madooke was outrunning him again.
05:28Just dummied the touch of the ball and let it run out of play.
05:34And that's that Harry Kane position when he drops short.
05:38Tuchel didn't particularly want him to do that, but on occasion it's an absolute must.
05:42Madooke, Rodgers, lots of space for Declan Wright's edge of the area.
05:48Drags his shot wide.
05:52Yeah, really good ball into his feet as well.
05:55Disguised it.
06:00Good control, that.
06:01Putting your studs on it and just rolling it out of your feet.
06:03Gives you a little bit of extra time and just drags it to the left.
06:06Back to the left.
06:23Madooke just making sure Pavlovich knows he's not afraid.
06:29He's not very good at hiding his emotions, Thomas Tuchel.
06:31He's certainly a lot happier at the start of the second half tonight
06:36than he was at the start of the second half at Villa Park at the weekend
06:39and in other games that we've seen England play.
06:43Struggled with Senegal at the city ground.
06:49Particularly uninspiring in the game in Barcelona against Andorra.
06:52There was hope that tonight could provide a springboard for his rate.
07:01He came dropping very deep as England tried to play out from the back here.
07:05Good job he did.
07:06He was needed then, a little wall pass.
07:09Pressure was on, the press was on, slightly different.
07:12Now Serbia, there's a bit of an urgency to him.
07:14And beaten in seven before tonight, Serbia.
07:26And the rest of the game is always on...
07:27Speaker 3!
07:28And the one side, Serbia.
07:29And the one side, Serbia.
07:34and the one side, Serbia.
07:41東西 and the 10th second half,
07:54Rhys James
07:58Nani Maduweke
08:05threat again
08:07into James, teeing it up for Declan Rice
08:10didn't get hold of it
08:12Vaksanovic under real pressure
08:16that chance of a shot all comes
08:18because
08:18scared stiff of Maduweke
08:21three players getting drawn to him
08:24to try and stop him dribbling into the box
08:26and that just frees up all the players
08:28it does help the other players
08:33moving around the edge of the box
08:35good movements, good runs that frees up the space
08:38it's a free kick to England
08:54Gordon
08:56trying to go for goal
08:58he's pushed out
08:59comes back towards Kane
09:01should be hammered home
09:02is hammered home
09:03and Esri Konza
09:04has an England goal
09:05in Belgrade
09:06a man who is certainly becoming an England regular now
09:13he's on the score sheet once more
09:16it was really untidy
09:17and England have forced it in
09:21there will be a goal check
09:22just to
09:23dot the I's and cross the T's
09:26yeah there was a couple of ricochets
09:27in the six yard box
09:29and again Gordon
09:30cutting in on
09:31left hand side
09:33onto his right foot
09:33getting the shot away
09:34the keeper
09:35Petrovic
09:37makes
09:38a one handed save
09:39right back in the danger area
09:41and it's that one there
09:43is Kane
09:44just behind
09:45Gay
09:46when it ricochets off him
09:48I'm about to find out
09:50I'm not sure that he's behind him
09:54he might count on this you know
09:55Conte is still celebrating
10:06and if the goal check
10:08is still ongoing
10:09then no one's told Clement to Pat
10:12he's just holding
10:13before the restart here
10:15no indication inside the stadium
10:21that a VAR check is going on
10:23but all of a sudden
10:25the whistle has been delayed
10:27and now they are checking
10:28for a potential offside
10:30leading up
10:31to the goal
10:32I don't think there's any
10:33doubt that Kane was ahead of
10:35the defender
10:36it's just that
10:38I think he might have been
10:39behind the ball
10:39check is over
10:41the goal is given
10:42there you go
10:43and England lead by
10:48three goals to nil
10:49and remember
10:52both these two sides
10:54hadn't conceded a goal
10:55in World Cup qualifying
10:57before tonight
10:59James and Kane
11:06coming together
11:07to try and halt
11:08the progress of Luka Jovic
11:09Kostic standing over this
11:32free keep once more
11:33and Lankovic up from the back
11:36so is Pavlovich
11:37Pavlovich
11:39will get something on it
11:40wants a corner here
11:41and he is going to get one
11:43oh he's changed his mind
11:46it's going to be
11:47oh no it is a corner
11:48changed his mind twice
11:49and he is going to be
12:03even an Lich to
12:04take over duties
12:06very deep
12:08Pickford is coming
12:10it's been a good start in the second half
12:26he's been in intent
12:27as soon as Gordon got the ball
12:29he was pretty sharp in that first half as well
12:32as soon as he got it ball on that left hand side
12:34he's one thought only
12:34can I get inside onto that right foot
12:36can I get my shot away
12:40okay
12:45looking to try and
12:47swing the ball into Anthony Gordon
12:49Zivkovic was up
12:51and over very quickly
12:53Gordon is asking how on earth
12:57that is a throw in to
12:59Serbia
13:00referee now coming across to have a word with Anthony Gordon
13:04Zivkovic is
13:07suggesting he got something in the face there
13:09I wonder if he's regretting picking the team he did tonight
13:18his team selection certainly will come under scrutiny tomorrow
13:21commentator that our friend our new friend is telling us how
13:26this is the cutting side
13:28I mean it's a
13:29you have to say it's not a particularly good save from
13:31Petrovic pushing it right into the danger air
13:34but England got shirts there
13:35they got
13:36men up and
13:37Konza
13:39absolutely love that moment
13:41yeah he was talking about the ego of Stoicovic and the fact that he will do it his way which you don't blame him for that but sometimes
13:54he can get a little bit stubborn with his team selections and way of playing
13:59they're about to make a change very quickly we are just about to hit 57 minutes in this game
14:07which means that Thomas Tuchel's team
14:11and Lee Carsley's team together
14:14have now gone 10 hours
14:16exactly since they conceded a competitive goal
14:20you've been waiting all match for that 57th minute haven't you
14:27this is the challenge
14:32just maybe gets
14:34quite sure what you've got there
14:37well we've still got lots of England games to come for you on ITV over the course of the autumn
14:46England take on Wales in a friendly on the 9th of October
14:51Wales have had a good start on the Craig Bellamy and that's live on ITV
14:56and ITV X
14:57and on the 14th of October we're off to Riga Latvia
15:02could be a crucial game in qualifying
15:04Serbia will play twice that break
15:05that's only the one England game that
15:08is in this competition in the next international break
15:11that's 14th of October ITV
15:13STV and ITV X
15:15clear to get back underway here
15:22looks as if we're going to see Lazar
15:23Samadzic in the next few moments of Atalanta
15:27it does feel as if bringing on all this attacking talent
15:33at this stage of the game
15:35it's a little bit after the horse has bolted
15:37I don't think you can blame Stojkovic for trying to keep it tight for his 20 minutes
15:47but certainly the tactics have got to change now
15:51to try and get something out of the game
15:54as Roy said
15:56we don't want to get absolute hammering
15:58here's Kostic
15:59trying to get away from Rhys James
16:02Milankovic trying to reach that back to his goalkeeper
16:16before he gets any attention from Rodgers
16:19Blankovic has had absolutely no change out of the two centre-backs
16:38and those two establishing themselves as the first choice pairing now
16:43looks like it
16:44obviously the injury to Stones
16:46I always thought
16:49I thought Konza when he's had a chance to play
16:52he's never let England down
16:55and looked pretty solid
16:56I don't know how good day he is
16:58England are in a process of refinement
17:02the experiments are over
17:04two-poilers staff dwindling down the long list
17:06streamlining the group
17:08working on what they call the six phases of the game
17:11those he believes could be together for five or six weeks next summer
17:15a bit more noise from the crowd
17:22Rovic almost got through but the offside flag was up
17:29as Elix tried to find him
17:32that's Elix's last action because he's going to be replaced
17:52he's an undoubted talent
17:58Samadzic
17:59sometimes given the licence to express himself
18:03and sometimes unable to
18:05he's a Berlin-born attacking midfielder
18:08who's switched from the under-21s of Germany
18:10to represent Serbia
18:11to get to dip to his bench
18:28Pavlovich
18:33okay trying to deal with Vlajevic
18:37he dealt with him all right
18:42fantastic defending
18:44looked like he lost it at one point
18:46looked so strong
18:46James
19:04this is Rice
19:11and James again
19:20just providing an option
19:22rolls away from Maximovic
19:25there's a neat ball down that channel
19:27looking for Kane
19:28and Elenkovich comes across
19:30good pressing from Rodgers
19:36Rice
19:37Gordon
19:38back to Rice again
19:40well he's had a couple of those
19:42he kind of knew he was going to get it back
19:44he just couldn't get his left foot ready in time
19:47came back pretty quick at him
19:48again it came about because of the high pressure
19:52that England were prepared to put on
19:53yeah the team looks pretty good in all departments
20:02with and without the ball
20:04look at the way you look on the pitch
20:07and someone's doing their job properly
20:08doesn't half help
20:10we have got an issue here inside the stadium
20:13you can't see it
20:14but there is a bit of crowd problem
20:20away to our left hand side
20:22riot police are streaming into the ground now
20:24it's about 10.15 rows to our left hand side
20:29they're running down the aisles to deal with
20:31a problem that has materialised
20:33I haven't seen what that is
20:35there was a lot of commotion
20:37very quickly
20:38there were riot police on the sea
20:41it's in the Serbian section
20:44miles away from where England are stationed
20:47the sad thing about that is
20:57is that there is
20:58a young child
21:00currently being lifted out of that area
21:02by his father and taken away to safety
21:05not entirely sure what sparked it
21:15police response was swift
21:21yeah
21:21it's like he's all been sorted out
21:23and they've moved a certain amount of
21:25fans to one side
21:27and they're standing in between somewhere
21:29can't quite see down there
21:32but he seemed to have it under control
21:34it may even have been a medical emergency
21:38again it's not clear to us
21:40because it is miles down the front of the stadium
21:43Bablovic
21:54tries to swing that in
21:58and catch Jordan Pickford off guard
22:14five, six Serbian players then
22:18forward
22:19if it has started like this
22:21Stojkovic is going to get some
22:22grief I think in the papers tomorrow
22:25for starting very cautiously
22:27they needed to win this game
22:29there's no doubt about that
22:30give them half a chance
22:31catching England
22:32but
22:33not now
22:34they have been poor tonight
22:39I think
22:39as good as England have been
22:41well that's a little bit wayward
22:48Anderson
22:50almost suffering from
22:53some hard itches pressure
22:54might be a little apology from Pickford
22:57there to Anderson
22:58but it wasn't forthcoming
22:59Rodgers
23:18brilliant
23:19really good
23:21Maduweke
23:25Gordon and Kane waiting in the centre
23:28not the kind of delivery that was desired
23:32after a good Morgan Rodgers run
23:34yeah
23:35right idea
23:36there was men in the box
23:38and space to hit it
23:39gets a second chance now
23:41thanks to Anderson
23:42it's Maduweke's delivery
23:44it's over Kane's head
23:45comes back on the edge of the box
23:47Declan Rice again
23:48and it's
23:51off the face of Pavlovich
23:52and out for an England corner
23:53he's made that position his own
23:55Declan Rice
23:56on the edge of the deep
23:57three or four attempts
23:59there's the England fans
24:08in fine spirits tonight
24:10corner number four for England
24:26scored from one of them already
24:30cons are up from the back
24:32Kane being marshalled
24:35a bit too deep
24:41but
24:41Libermento will have the opportunity
24:43to recycle
24:44Gordon
24:49Libermento
24:50trying to get around the outside
24:52let's go down to the touchline
24:54and hear from Gabriel Clark
24:55our touchline reporter
24:56tonight
24:58and find out a little bit more
24:59about that incident that happened
25:01in the crowd
25:01Gabriel
25:01yes
25:03the disturbance involved
25:05happened in the main stand
25:06Sam
25:07and it was just
25:07rather unnerving
25:08for a few minutes
25:09as a few Serbian fans
25:11ran across that stand
25:12families involved as well
25:14and some children
25:14had to be moved on
25:16it was Serbian fans
25:17actually arguing
25:18between themselves
25:19a political dispute
25:21pro and anti-government
25:23sentiments
25:23but the police
25:25have moved in
25:26and calmed the situation down
25:27so hopefully
25:28nothing more to report
25:30in that main stand
25:31well this is
25:38a great moment
25:39for Jed Spence
25:40coming on to represent
25:41England
25:42for the first time
25:43Marcus Rashford
25:44replaces Anthony Gordon
25:46Jed Spence
25:49coming into the game
25:50likely to
25:53play it right back
25:55on this near side
25:56and although the
25:59FA do not keep
26:01records of religion
26:02it is reported
26:03that he is the first
26:04Muslim man
26:05to play
26:06for England
26:07congratulations to him
26:15first cap

26:36they only ask
26:37because
26:38when I asked you
26:39if you'd played
26:40here
26:40you said

26:47once I got in
26:47the ground
26:48that I hadn't
26:48played here
26:49what a fantastic
26:50ground it is
26:51by the way
26:51old school
26:52it's great ground
26:57once upon a time
26:58there was a
26:59hundred thousand
26:59that would get
27:00in here
27:00watch derby

27:03it might sound
27:04at times
27:04like there's

27:11nothing really
27:17scraps to feed off
27:19he's come across
27:24very little service
27:25very little support
27:27and two centre-backs
27:28who know their game
27:30so very difficult
27:32for blaovic
27:33an unfit
27:37mitrovic
27:38they've got to
27:38play against
27:39now
27:39roger's trying to turn
27:59roger's trying to turn
28:04look it's trying to bring
28:07it clear
28:07jen spence with a good
28:10world-time tackle on
28:11pablovic that'll do
28:12the world of good
28:13absolutely
28:13that's what you want
28:14as a right back
28:15the first touch
28:15to be one of them
28:16from sight
28:33you
28:34to show
28:35you
28:35to show
28:36you
28:36to show
28:37your
28:38ision
28:38Dmitrovic, okay he's there once again, England are on the hunt, Milenkovic a little bit late
28:48on Harry Kane, it's going to be a yellow card, no it's not, it's going to be a red card,
28:57well I think that surprised everyone, they will check that red card, Milenkovic immediately
29:03protested his innocence, Harry Kane was going away from goal, yeah, Milenkovic is saying
29:11that to the ref, look where the ball's gone, as if to say that's why he's been given a red
29:16card, last man, is that denying a goal scoring opportunity, Harry Kane obviously gets there
29:25first and he's trying to, he's not going to get away with it, obviously it's a VAR thing
29:32now, he's got nothing to do with the referee, the VAR check's over, Milenkovic is pointing
29:40out that he was travelling away from goal, if I'm being honest, that's harsh, a straight
29:47red for that, it's not about the ferocity of the title, it's about denying a goal scoring
29:56opportunity, he's gone for the ball, he's just got there late and got no chance of winning
30:04it as soon as he, it's very difficult to pull out once you've committed to that, but he's
30:09on, he's on his way, that's a straight red card for Milenkovic, and any appeal has fallen
30:19on deaf ears, and he's gone, and Serbia's night goes from bad to worse, the captain sent off,
30:31his team selection under scrutiny, they're approaching the first half, too cautious but
30:38not enough to contain a really good England team, and now for the final 17 minutes they're
30:44going to have to play, with one fewer men, I don't care who you are, I think you'd be
30:51really disappointed to get sent off for that, can't even change the way the game ends, I
31:00think Kane's got his revenge on Milenkovic tonight, after keeping him quiet in the Euros though,
31:04Yeah, he kind of had that feel about him in the press conference last night, he was almost
31:10saying bring it on, wasn't he?
31:19Franky England, 16 to go.
31:20Okay, coming round the back and finishing it off, well remember before tonight, Serbia
31:33hadn't conceded a goal in World Cup qualifying, but that O was always going to go, and England
31:43have been the ones to take it, Mark Gay, the latest goalscorer for England, it's another
31:49first, and it's four on the night, and England have thrashed Serbia.
31:54Well this goal's all about the delivery, and all about getting his strength, just look at
32:00him, bottom of your screen, he just gets ahead, and Pavlovic just uses his strength, he's complaining
32:07about offside, but that ball is on a sixpence, he just gets ahead of his defender, and enough
32:14on it, but he fights him, he fights him to the ball, and he wouldn't run right.
32:23No doubt, they have been under the glare of scrutiny, the eye of a storm at times, but their
32:38resolve was hardened, and they have stepped up and met the challenge tonight.
32:46Watkinson for the first time under Tuka, replaces Kane, Bowen on for Madaweke.
32:53Veljkovic is now on the form of Tottenham player, here comes Zidkovic.
33:01They've made their five changes now.
33:16England fans are having an absolute party away to our right-hand side, that old town in
33:21the centre of Serbia.
33:24Heavily populated with England supporters throughout the course of the day.
33:28Cobbled streets and the little bars and pubs.
33:33I'm sure it's going to do a roaring trade this evening.
33:37It's been a pretty faultless performance, hasn't it?
33:49Just looking around the team, everyone's played the part.
33:52It stays like this, another clean sheet for Pickford in his defence.
33:56Very, very mobile midfield, an inside forward supporting Kane.
34:04Really good wing play, it's been very, very good.
34:08We haven't said that for a while.
34:18Only if that word DNA will get mentioned again.
34:21Jed Spence.
34:26And a bit of room for Spence to get across in.
34:31Pavlovich's header steers it away from danger.
34:35England quickly wrestle it back, this is Jared Bowen.
34:39Now Marcus Rashford, Bowen, now Rashford.
34:42I just wonder whether or not that was the right ball from Rashford.
34:51Great little one-two, movement, pace, one touch.
34:56So difficult to defend against.
34:58And that's the ball, look, right in.
35:01I know what the defender's saying, he's saying to the goalkeeper.
35:04He's three yards out when he puts it in.
35:07You've got to come for that.
35:12Maybe if you go and head it, you wouldn't have to come.
35:14You've got to attack the ball in that situation.
35:16You can't wait for a goalkeeper to come.
35:18And that means that it's 4-0 to England.
35:20And this is what the table looks like as a result.
35:23England top of the pile.
35:26As a result, Albania have moved into second place.
35:29They're leading Latvia tonight.
35:31Serbia dropped down the table.
35:34There's a big gap now.
35:36Rashford trying to get into the box and unleashing a firecracker,
35:39which is repelled by Petrovic.
35:42Well, Petrovic pushed one into the six-yard box earlier for the goal.
35:48This time Rashford gets full laces through this.
35:51And it's a better save from the keeper.
35:54The keeper.
36:18Corner number five for England.
36:19Shorter this time.
36:20Bowen to Rashford and back again.
36:23Rice.
36:25Rashford.
36:27Teasing ball that only reaches Rodgers.
36:29Falls nicely for Anderson.
36:31The intensity that Serbia showed in the early part of the game has gone out of it.
36:42The longer it's gone on.
36:45England have.
36:48Really made them suffer.
36:49And it might get even worse for the game.
36:51And it's a good save by Petrovic from Rice who is seemingly destined not to score tonight.
36:56He's had about five shots and some good ones.
36:59This one on target.
37:00Keeper.
37:03Makes himself big.
37:04Throws a shin at it.
37:07Getting really good.
37:08Look how many men they've got in the Box England movement.
37:10That's a good hand actually.
37:14That's a good hand actually.
37:15That's a good hand actually.
37:16Nottingham Forest.
37:17Nikola Milenkovic sent off after 72 minutes.
37:18England were 3-0 up at that point.
37:19They are going to make a significant change here because Declan Rice who had inherited the
37:23captain's armband from Kane is coming off and he's giving it straight to his replacement Jordan Henderson.
37:29Jordan Henderson.
37:30Jordan Henderson.
37:31Jordan Henderson.
37:34Now back in the Premier League with Brentford Jordan Henderson.
37:36Jordan Henderson.
37:37Jordan Henderson.
37:38Jordan Henderson.
37:39Jordan Henderson.
37:40Jordan Henderson.
37:41Jordan Henderson.
37:43Jordan Henderson.
37:45Jordan Henderson.
37:46Jordan Henderson.
37:48Jordan Henderson.
37:50Jordan Henderson.
37:55Jordan Henderson.
38:17again, away by Mitrovic, Bowen heading towards goal, still going, it's poke time, the offside
38:30flag is up, and I don't think there was much doubt that Oli Watkins was going to be flagged
38:38in that situation, he looked over to the linesman straight away, Bowen couldn't believe the
38:43space he got, just wanders, I've been really disappointed with Serbia from a competition
38:56point of view, but so pleased with England, how well they played, as I said, they've really
39:01taken this team to pieces, so we can talk about how weak Serbia is, but it's better to
39:08talk the positives, a big result for him tonight, England, but more so a good performance,
39:16because you can see, there were signs the other, at the weekend, the little patterns of play,
39:23the little movement from the wings, the pace down the sides, but tonight it's all come together.
39:29certainly tonight, composure under fire, handled the heat of the atmosphere in Belgrade, and
39:39I must say that, since England scored their fourth goal, this place is emptied very quickly,
39:47there's a lot of empty seats now, around the stadium in the Serbian ends, the England supporters
39:54have to stay here afterwards, but they would be staying and cheering this performance anyway.
40:24now Henderson, has England come forward again, it's been a pattern of the game really,
40:40that England have been on the front foot from the start of the match.
40:43Watkins, Rodgers, two Aston Villa colleagues combining, now Bowen, and that was Hans, wasn't it?
40:56It certainly looked like it.
40:59The referee didn't react, and there was no appeal from the England players.
41:07We are a good 60 yards away from the pitch.
41:13It certainly looked as if the hands come out there.
41:15Good, yeah.
41:19Bowen.
41:23The free kick has been taken quickly, so there will be no intervention from VAR.
41:31Anderson, Rashford, direct running again from him.
41:35Kept hold of it well, set it back.
41:38Elliot Anderson's effort cracks into the back of Bowen.
42:05Samadzic, just getting there ahead of Libramento.
42:18They've kept up the pressure, haven't they?
42:19Yeah.
42:20We were at the press conference last night, weren't we?
42:23And Thomas Tuchel spoke brilliantly well.
42:25I really like listening to his explanation of what they're trying to do, etc.
42:29Can't wait for tonight's one.
42:31He'll have a proper smile on his face, won't he?
42:33Well, he did yesterday.
42:34Yeah, he did, yeah.
42:35I was nervous, I think.
42:36No, he was...
42:38He's always very personable.
42:40He actually even sort of talked about the scrutiny and the criticism that he was getting,
42:45and he said, that's part of it, that's, you know, everyone's got an opinion.
42:49Bowen.
42:52He clearly wants to do the job and he continually says he loves the job.
42:56And he thinks it's a real privilege.
42:58He lives in London and he often meets supporters and does so with a smile,
43:02especially when they tell him who he should be picking.
43:09There's a lot to like about him, I have to say.
43:14And he was categoric, actually, yesterday when we spoke to him,
43:17that he can develop and produce a competitive team.
43:20He was clear nothing's set in stone, still wants to be flexible.
43:24That's just an example of Watkins' offside and why it was ruled out.
43:30Just the full two yards offside.
43:33Sure why they're showing that.
43:35Is that the AOR graphic?
43:40Kostic.
43:50And he said he's got to find different ways to adapt.
43:52Tournament football is different to qualification.
43:56And he believes in the work they've been doing in camp
43:58and they think that gives them the best possible chance.
44:10Kostic's long throw isn't long enough.
44:15Watkins, look at Rashford, already on his bike and ready to charge upfield.
44:19Jordan Henderson trying to get up in support.
44:23Watkins is there too.
44:24Rashford continues to carry the ball.
44:27Watkins.
44:30No penalty according to Clement Turpak.
44:35A few England players that thought that there would be.
44:39Mitrovic trying to send them on their way.
44:41It's a poor pass for him.
44:42Let's have a look at this.
44:43From our 80 yards away.
44:45There is a check.
44:46Yeah.
44:47He's waiting for the answer.
44:48Surely it's a...
44:49He missed the ball.
44:51Well, the VAR is another Frenchman, Willy Delagode.
44:56Jordan Henderson.
44:57It's a pen.
44:58It's quite simple to lip read.
44:59He missed the ball.
45:00It's a pen.
45:01His representations laughing and joking.
45:03They are now accelerating that check and sending him further up the food chain.
45:08It might well be that he decides to go and have a look at the monitor here, Clement Turpak.
45:12It's a foul.
45:13It's a foul.
45:14It's a penalty.
45:15All day long.
45:16Noracovic.
45:17He's got a foul here.
45:18They're just sitting at the shot.
45:19And it's in.
45:20Yeah, the fans, both the fans, are laughing and joking.
45:21They are now accelerating that check and sending him further up the food chain.
45:22It might well be that he decides to go and have a look at the monitor here, Clement Turpak.
45:24It's a foul.
45:25It's a foul.
45:27It's a foul, it's a penalty all day long.
45:30long
45:45and aracovic is the player attempting to make the tackle yeah tempting is the right word
45:52it is a foul it is a penalty and england have the chance to make it five in belgrade
45:58aracovic the latest defender in serbian blue to make a mistake
46:08i think they changed their kit to bring on back the good times the old days but
46:14they certainly haven't been able to do that tonight
46:17and now england have a chance to make it five from the spot
46:28well it might have been watkins it might have been jared bowen it is going to be
46:38marcus rashford the first barcelona player since gary lineker to pull on an england shirt
46:45hoping for a redemption under thomas tuchel
46:50happy to take responsibility it's rashford for england it's five
47:02and thomas tuchel's england have been accused of being tepid up until tonight
47:08but this has the feeling of a turning point
47:10it's a five-star display in a red star stadium well it's who blinks first petrovic
47:22did that for rashford just waiting to move one side or the other and then just calmly rolls it
47:28into the corner it's fully deserved from england they deserve this win they've been patient they've
47:35had criticism but they've played very very well tonight
47:42it's great for marcus rashford as well who has had a difficult time over the last few years
47:53he was very very positive the other day when he played as in running at the winger
47:57the defender sorry didn't quite come off for him
48:05the competition for places no doubt all over this england team but especially down the wings
48:17i think he will have his eye on that center forward job if harry kane wasn't to play as well
48:23watkins has sort of fallen down the pecking order a little bit certainly an option
48:35as diabetes see in ticks
48:42rashford again
48:43rashford again
48:51rashford's First goal since he scored for astonville
48:55from the spot against manchester city at the beginning of april
48:58he missed a lot at the end of the season with a thigh injury
49:00has only played three times for Barcelona
49:03Spence
49:27that's the end of the night for England
49:29or is it?
49:31no
49:31that's that whistle again
49:33it's a double whistle once more
49:34England fans thought it was over
49:38Serbia thought it was over for a moment
49:40the referee heard it as well
49:42because he put his hand up
49:43and said keep going
49:45signal to keep going
49:46Thomas Tuchel says the perfect game doesn't exist
49:50coaches always want more
49:51but the perfect record does
49:53England are about to go five from five
49:55in World Cup qualifying without conceding a goal
49:58they've never done that before
49:59whenever you think of the performances before tonight
50:03it's hard to argue with that
50:06the longest run unbeaten in World Cup qualifying
50:12and another victory
50:15and five goals
50:16a show of strength
50:18a strength of character
50:20a strength of mind
50:21a strength of his game plan
50:24in the midst of criticism
50:25and a bit of skepticism
50:27England bounce back
50:28in Belgrade
50:29thanks to five goals
50:31Rashford
50:32Gaye
50:32Konza
50:33Madaweke
50:34and of course
50:35Harry Kane
50:36and a result that allowed them to deal with a hostile crowd
50:40World Cup qualifiers are
50:42only rarely pretty
50:45but the results sometimes speak for themselves
50:47and this was one of those rare occasions
50:49and it will be remembered
50:51England go eight points clear of Serbia
50:54and have a foot
50:56and a couple of toes
50:57on the play to North America
50:58it's finished with a little bit of acrimony
51:01at the end of the match
51:02in Belgrade
51:03but it's finished
51:04with England
51:05and a resounding victory
51:07Serbia nil
51:08England five
