Your support makes all the difference.Jadon Sancho announced himself on the international stage in some style, scoring twice on a night when England's ruthless edge made up for some shambolic defending in a thrilling, high-scoring win against Kosovo.
A sell-out St Mary's crowd bore witness to the most entertaining qualifier in many a year as Gareth Southgate's men continued their march to Euro 2020 with an enthralling, if at times unconvincing, 5-3 victory on the south coast.
Defensive errors gifted Kosovo a shock opener and then second-half hope, but a clinical first half proved decisive as Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane goals were complemented by an own goal and quickfire brace from Sancho in a helter-skelter clash.

Plenty of national pride on show from both sets of players. We're almost ready to get underway!
Kosovo kick off and immediately launch the ball forward down the left flank. England will expect to dominate possession again this evening.
GOAL! England 0-1 Kosovo (Berisha)
1 minute
Wow! A dream start for the visitors! England, meanwhile, appear to be half asleep. Keane plays a lazy pass straight into the path of Valon Berisha, presenting the forward with an easy chance to score. He slots the ball past Pickford and Kosovo lead after just 35 seconds.

England are looking for a quick response, probing in search of an opening. But they can find no way through Kosovo's organised defence as yet. That error from Keane has given the hosts plenty of work to do here.

Keane quickly makes amends! A corner is played to the back post, where the centre back rises highest. His header across goal is nodded in by Raheem Sterling, and England are level within seven minutes.

Kosovo are struggling to get out of their own half now. England have been jolted into life by that early goal, and their superiority is beginning to show.

Chilwell's attempted cross is diverted behind for a corner, which the Leicester full-back takes himself. His ball in is too close to goalkeeper Muric, though. The visitors don't look entirely comfortable defending set pieces.

England win the ball in midfield and look to break through Sterling. But his attempted ball through to Kane is crucially intercepted by Aliti.

16 minutes
Kosovo remain a threat on the counter attack and aren't afraid to commit players forward. Their 15-game unbeaten run has clearly, and understandably, given them plenty of confidence.
