Thomas Tuchel marvels at England's display of teamwork in its purest form'

"I think it was teamwork in its purest form, the German said. We helped each other out, we had the right intensity in the right moments. We put the work in to not allow one shot on target for a strong home team. If you want to do this you need to support each other, you need to play disciplined and keep the intensity up. This is what we did and the players did excellent, so full credit to the team."

"the result was maybe not the result that everyone expected. I kept them in the belief but at some point you need to prove as a player that it's not just words from your coach. I said we put all the effort in against Andorra but you don't get the praise for it, so today I'm happy that the players get the reward and that they have this outstanding result in a very, very difficult environment."

"Thomas Tuchel praised teamwork in its purest form after England kickstarted the head coach's reign by taking control of their World Cup qualifying group with a dominant 5-0 thrashing of Serbia. Goals from Harry Kane, Noni Madueke, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi and Marcus Rashford stunned the crowd at the Rajko Mitic Stadium and lifted England seven points clear at the top of Group K."
