Harry Kane Makes History! England Demolishes Serbia 5-0!
Harry Kane is etching his name deeper into England's football history! The Bayern Munich superstar surpassed the legendary Bobby Moore in appearances during the Three Lions' dominant 5-0 victory over Serbia. Kane's 109th appearance in an England shirt moved him past Moore (108) and secured his spot as the fifth most-capped player of all time.
England Set the Standard Against Serbia
Thomas Tuchel, the England manager, was ecstatic with his team's performance, urging them to maintain this level as they progress towards the World Cup. The match saw goals from Harry Kane, Noni Madueke, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi, and Marcus Rashford, solidifying England's position at the top of Group K. They've won all five matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding none.
England needs only five more points from their remaining three games to secure their place in the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Tuchel's Take on the Victory
Tuchel, who faced criticism for lackluster performances in his initial matches, expressed relief and pride in the team's vibrant display. "I told you! You need a bit of trust in what we're doing... Today is a statement victory against a difficult opponent in a difficult environment. There was no negative attitude on the pitch. For me, it was teamwork in its purest form," he said.
Tuchel, tasked with winning England's first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup after Southgate's successive runners-up finishes in the European Championship, wants the team to maintain this level of performance and teamwork.
The previous 2-0 win against Andorra had raised concerns, but this resounding victory over Serbia has silenced critics and set a high bar for the team's future performances.
