Your support makes all the difference.England finished their Euro 2020 qualification campaign with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Kosovo on Sunday night.
The Three Lions were given a warm welcome in Prishtina but this was a scrappy game that failed to ever truly ignite. England had already qualified for Euro 2020 as group winners while Kosovo were assured of a playoff place, meaning the match often felt more like a friendly.
Both sides had chances to open the scoring in an even first-half but it was Spurs midfielder Harry Winks who broke the deadlock, sidefooting home to score his first international goal.
Kosovo enjoyed the better of the start to the second-half and had chances to seriously test Nick Pope, but they lacked quality in the final third and went two down when Harry Kane finished powerfully from inside the six-yard box.
Marcus Rashford then confidently slotted home to add an extra coat of gloss to the scoreline, while Mason Mount grabbed his first international goal in injury time. Here are our player ratings.
