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.

A nervy moment for goalkeeper Muric - on loan at Nottingham Forest from Manchester City this season - whose loose touch very nearly allows a back pass to roll into his own net.

Brilliant from Sterling! The Manchester City man turns superbly on the halfway line and races forward, sliding the ball to Kane to his left. And the finish from the prolific striker is as composed as ever. He slides the ball past Muric on his left foot and adds yet another goal to his tally in this qualification campaign.

Kosovo come close to an immediate response! Berisha chests the ball down in the box and sends a dangerous effort across goal. There's no one there to convert, but it's another nervy moment for the England defence.

There's a definite argument to be made for more England games to be played away from Wembley. The atmosphere so far tonight - helped by the vocal Kosovo fans - has been excellent. It's significantly louder than Saturday night's fairly drab affair.

England have a firm grip on this game now having taken the lead. Kosovo are still attempting to cause problems on the break but creating chances is a struggle now for the away side.

Henderson finds space in the middle and surges towards the edge of the box. The crowd encourage him to shoot but instead he looks for Sterling. His pass doesn't quite reach the scorer of England's first goal, and Aliti steps in to clear.
