Report, result and goals as Three Lions cruise at Wembley
Harry Kane’s absence made little difference as England cruised to a 3-0 win over neighbours Wales at Wembley.
Bayern Munich striker Kane was reduced to the role of spectator due to injury, but England quickly put the result beyond doubt with a clinical first-half performance.
Morgan Rogers opened the scoring in the third minute, with his Aston Villa colleague Ollie Watkins — leading the line in place of Kane — made it 2-0 eight minutes later.
Bukayo Saka’s spectacular long-range effort ended the game as a contest, though Wales were able to prevent the scoreline from becoming more emphatic, with their focus now on a crucial World Cup qualifier with Belgium on Monday. England travel to Latvia for their lone qualifier of the International break. Thomas Tuchel’s men will qualify for the World Cup if Serbia fail to beat Albania on Saturday.
