Moments later, Bukayo Saka back from injury added the 3rd with brilliant curling shot .. all within 20 minute of the opening whistle.

Wales Focused on Their Own Qualifying Battle

England’s Path to World Cup Qualification

For England the focus now shifts to Tuesday’s away trip to Latvia where victory would secure top spot in their group and direct qualification for the 2026 FIFA World cup to be hosted across the U.S, Mexico and Canada.
