"England maintained their perfect record in World Cup qualifying with a 2-0 win over Serbia, with Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze scoring. With England's place at the tournament secure, much of the build-up to Thursday's game focused on Thomas Tuchel's assertion that Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden could not both play alongside captain Harry Kane, and both were second-half substitutes at Wembley."
"Bellingham received a huge ovation from the home fans when he was introduced in the 65th minute, with Foden also entering the fray as a false nine by replacing Kane. Foden almost had an assist when he found Eze with a sensational dinked pass over the top, but the Arsenal man could only flick an effort against the goalkeeper and onto the crossbar."
England secured a 2-0 victory over Serbia at Wembley, preserving a perfect World Cup qualifying record. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the 28th minute after Predrag Rajkovic parried a lofted ball from debutant Nico O'Reilly. Serbia created chances, including a saved effort from Filip Kostic and a wide backheel from Dusan Vlahovic. Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden entered as second-half substitutes, with Foden operating as a false nine. Foden teed up Eze, who hit the crossbar and later curled a stoppage-time finish to seal the result. Albania’s win eliminated Serbia from play-off contention.
