00:01But as Roy says, the first task is to qualify, and that journey begins against an Albania side that are
00:08led by a familiar face.
00:10Patrick the last time they met here, here is Lewis Skelly, trying to get in behind, he's done just that,
00:15tapped it in, and it's the perfect debut for the Arsenal teenager.
00:21But they definitely should do that, here is Rashford, into Bellingham, trying to steer it centrally, Strakosian made the save,
00:28might come back for Kane.
00:30Trying to steer it in for Bellingham, what a save, comes back to Kane, and deflection somehow, takes it over
00:36the top.
00:38And he's going for it again, and Dan Byrne is denied by Strakosik, he's got there ahead of Byrne, and
00:44this is Asani.
00:46And Konza comes to the rescue, it's Rice teasing the ball towards Kane, who's brought it down, gets his shot
00:51away, and gets his customary goal.
00:55Well the eras come and go, and there is the full-time whistle, the first step towards a second start,
01:02goes smoothly.
01:03Big Caps have been off the bench, he's got a chance tonight to show what he can do from the
01:07start.
01:09Well that's a bit of a mistake, and it's come towards Kropskis, and that's about the best chance.
01:14Now they disperse, and it's Bellingham who meets the header, it comes back and it's another really good save.
01:21It's Rhys James, there it is.
01:26It's absolute top class.
01:32And into the fire line, finding Rodgers, good save by Sviadris.
01:38Rodgers, right, back post, Harry Kane, in the lead by two goals to nil.
01:47Heberichi Eze, lovely feet, brilliant from Eze, oh that's terrific.
01:55That's the kind of magic.
01:58Rodgers, trying to tease his way into a shooting position.
02:00And pulling a save out of the goalkeeper, Sviadris.
02:06And it is another win for Thomas Tuchel, another three points for the Three Lions.
02:11Team's development.
02:14Palmer's cross is headed away.
02:17Bellingham sets it back, Madaweke.
02:21Here's Madaweke, in behind Borat, and setting the ball back for Kane.
02:24Runs all the way through to Jones, it's a heavy touch, Kane.
02:28Rodgers.
02:29Oh, lovely turn, lovely feet.
02:32Still, Morgan Rodgers.
02:34I deserved it.
02:35But Bellingham is coming forward here, and Madaweke has picked it up.
02:38It's in towards Bellingham.
02:40One flicked header.
02:42It's another shot on target for England.
02:46Kane, trying to poke that hope.
02:49Stopped by Alvarez, Madaweke.
02:51Kane at the back post.
02:52And England are in front.
02:54Well, it's taken longer than expected.
02:57Bellingham well.
02:59Bellingham, flipping it into a dangerous area.
03:02Well, for Thomas Tuchel, it's job done.
03:04England, as a result, retain their place at the top of Group K.
03:08But they've added just one goal.
03:14It's the ball into Madaweke.
03:15Now to Eza.
03:16Tries to drill one.
03:19It's England's first shot on target.
03:20Force it out to James, who's got the better of St. Nicholas.
03:23Ball's loose inside the box.
03:25Right, it's Eza.
03:26It's cleared away by Levera.
03:28England's best passage of play.
03:30Danger's not over yet.
03:31Here's Kane.
03:32And the cross from James, flashes through his legs.
03:35Good ball into Eza from my palace colleague.
03:39Madaweke.
03:40Looking for Kane.
03:41Oh, it's flicked it.
03:43It's Garcia, who got the final touch.
03:47Christian Garcia nodding it beyond his own goalkeeper to give England the lead.
03:52It was on the back foot.
03:53Still going Madaweke.
03:54Evarichi Eza.
03:55Good save, Alvarez.
03:56Comes back to Marcus Rashford.
03:58Oh, he's missed the target.
04:00European Championship qualifier.
04:02Giving it away here.
04:03Great pressing.
04:04Here's Anderson.
04:04Oh, what a save.
04:05Anderson trying to get there again.
04:07A few minutes in the second half, but we'll just drop back into that line again.
04:10That's James.
04:11That's Declan Rice with a header.
04:14And that should lift the spirits.
04:18It's a beautiful cross from Rhys James.
04:22Well, England have won.
04:24It was an efficient victory for Thomas Tuchel in the end.
04:32Xavier congested on the edge of their penalty as Rice tries to break through.
04:36It's fed Madaweke.
04:37Madaweke trying to steer it through to Harry Kane.
04:41In towards Kane with a header and he's there.
04:43And England are in front.
04:47It's Declan Rice to Harry Kane.
04:51They're getting better at it.
04:53It's certainly getting better as this game goes on.
04:55And Madaweke is steaming through.
04:56It's Madaweke for England.
04:58He has his first England goal.
04:59England have a 2-0 lead.
05:01And they weren't ruthless enough in the weekend.
05:03No doubt.
05:05Gordon.
05:07Trying to go for goal.
05:08Oh, he's pushed out.
05:09Comes back towards Kane.
05:10Should be hammered home.
05:11Is hammered home.
05:12And Ezri Konta has an England goal in Belgrade.
05:19Kane coming round the back and finishing it off.
05:23But remember before tonight.
05:25Gap now.
05:26Rashford trying to get into the box.
05:28He's there too.
05:29Rashford continues to carry the ball.
05:32Watkins.
05:34Tempting is the right word.
05:35To take responsibility.
05:38It's Rashford for England.
05:39It's five.
05:42Well, it's who blinks first.
05:44Petrovic is fully deserved from England.
05:46And deserved this win.
05:48With impatient.
05:49Now Kane.
05:52Running at the Latvian defence.
05:53Gordon.
05:54Saka in the centre.
05:55Rogers in there as well.
05:56Kane.
05:58That was a good England move.
05:59So close to the island of defence.
06:03Cutting in.
06:04Still Anthony.
06:04Gordon.
06:05There you go.
06:08The breakthrough that England have been waiting for.
06:11I think cement into place.
06:13The team.
06:14Kane.
06:15And that could be the goal.
06:18That packs England off to the World Cup.
06:21Rice's delivery is the deep one.
06:24It's fisted away by Zviadris.
06:26There's no doubt it's a penalty.
06:30There was never any doubt.
06:32It's another professional performance.
06:35From the three lions.
06:37Kukovskis.
06:38Getting the wrong side of Konza.
06:39Jordan Pickford has to be alert.
06:41Konza was even more so.
06:43Recovered really well.
06:45More conventional cross this time.
06:47And it causes problems.
06:49Big problems.
06:51And England have a fourth goal.
06:54Here's the target now.
06:55Kane joining inside the box.
06:57It's Eberici Eza.
07:00It's five.
07:05England are coming to America.
07:08No drama.
07:09No slip up.
07:09Just German inspired.
07:11England efficiency.
07:14Defenses like that.
07:15You take players on.
07:18It's going to step over by Rashford.
07:19This is allowed.
07:20To get the return from Rice.
07:22It's Rashford.
07:23Played by Rijkovic.
07:24It's going to be O'Reilly to hit it.
07:26And then it's going to come back to Saka.
07:30But they were well beaten in Belgrade.
07:33And Serbia have opened up.
07:36O'Reilly.
07:37On to Rashford.
07:38O'Reilly.
07:39And Rijkovic has to.
07:43It's a great ball to the far post.
07:44And Kane somehow.
07:47Very short space for him to defend.
07:50And Kostic's trying to get round the back.
07:52Now comes.
07:53Forward.
07:54Foden.
07:55Foden.
07:55Round the corner.
07:56To Eberici Eze.
07:57It's off the bar.
07:59The ball now.
08:00And maybe it can affect something late on.
08:03It's Phil Foden for England.
08:04Setting up Eberici Eze.
08:05There.
08:07And he comes up with an assist.
08:10England go 2-0 in front.
08:11And Eberici Eze scores again for England.
08:15Now Thomas Tuchel's team are looking to join the 100% club.
08:20They're almost there.
08:22Lots of red shirts to try and block their efforts to get into it.
08:27Bowen.
08:30It's Rice.
08:32It's right.
08:33Bellingham leads the charge.
08:35Bowen gets into the penalty area.
08:36And tries to drive it.
08:38Goalwards.
08:38Fairami.
08:39Latchi ahead of him.
08:40Ballyu down the right now.
08:42Trying to steer the ball centrally.
08:43A little flick by Latchi.
08:45Armahodja.
08:46It's in on that right foot.
08:47Unleashing a shot at Henderson.
08:49Passed again.
08:50His hands to that.
08:51Too confident pass from Berg.
08:52Which has been picked off by Fairami.
08:54Who sent it towards the edge of the box.
08:56Fairami is there.
08:57And he really should have put Albania into the lead.
09:00Eze makes a run into the box.
09:01Eze takes it down.
09:02It's Eberici Eze.
09:04And it's a brilliant save from Stokosia.
09:08Flicked on the near post.
09:09Kane is there.
09:13And it's no surprise that the man leading England's pursuit of perfection
09:18is Captain Kane.
09:21Rashford's delivery is a really good one.
09:22And Kane is up there again.
09:23That's a fantastic ball from Marcus Rashford.
09:27It's another Harry Kane goal.
09:29A year that began with promise ends in perfection.
09:34England have rewritten their own qualification history.
09:38Every hurdle cleared.
09:39Every challenge met.
09:41Every measure of this team sharpened for the summer ahead.
09:44Within two queens and theốmanne had been fulfilling,
09:44but my dad was again!
09:44The Oğlumah been through your head.
