Football: England put 10 goals past San Marino as Southgate hails Kane – SERRAVALLE, SAN MARINO (AFP) – England qualified for the World Cup in record-breaking style as Harry Kane scored four times in a 10-0 demolition of San Marino that ranked as the Three Lions’ biggest ever victory in a competitive match.
Needing a draw from their last Group I qualifier to reach next year’s tournament in Qatar, England went goal crazy on Monday (Nov 15) as they scored 10 in a single game for the first time since a 1964 friendly against the United States.
It was a night when it felt prudent at an early juncture to consult the record books. What was England’s biggest ever win? Because it was in real danger of being overhauled as Gareth Southgate’s team cut San Marino to shreds.
In the end, the 13-0 victory over Ireland from 1882 would survive but this was a beating that even San Marino, the international game’s lowest ranked side, will remember for an awfully long time.
There had been a power cut a few hours before kick-off at the Olympic Stadium, plunging everything into darkness, but it was superseded by an awesome surge, with Harry Kane, inevitably, leading the England charge.
There was a moment with about 10 minutes to go when the big screen, briefly, stopped showing the time, making those present wonder whether it was a ploy to end things early. It was that painful for San Marino and it was a struggle to accommodate the names of all the England scorers.
England were always going to win to rubber-stamp direct qualification to the World Cup finals in Qatar next year, with the only question concerning the margin. Were it not for VAR, it might have been even more, further imperilling the Ireland result, with Jude Bellingham and the substitute, Tammy Abraham, having goals ruled out.
