England maintain perfect World Cup qualifying record with Serbia win

England has extended their flawless record in World Cup qualifying with a seventh successive victory as Serbia were beaten 2-0 at Wembley.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel is now able to fine-tune his plans after England confirmed their place last month in next summer's showpiece with two games to spare.

Tuchel gave a first senior cap to Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly at left-back, but it was one of England's established stars who made the breakthrough, Bukayo Saka scoring after 28 minutes with a perfectly placed left-foot volley beyond Serbia keeper Predrag Rajkovic.

Phil Foden also came on as substitute at the same time, and he combined with Jude Bellingham to set up another replacement, Eberechi Eze, for a superb curling finish to wrap up England's win in the last minute.

Serbia mounted the occasional threat in the second half, but England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was able to extend his record run of clean sheets to 10, while England has now scored 20 goals without reply in their successful qualifying campaign.
