England player ratings v Andorra: Jesse Lingard 9, Bukayo Saka 8, Patrick Bamford 6


  • English
  • Arabic

England extended their perfect record in 2022 World Cup qualifying with a one-sided 4-0 win over Andorra at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Jesse Lingard scored twice and set up the fourth for Bukayo Saka, while Harry Kane - on as a second half substitute - scored the other from the penalty spot.

Manchester United forward Lingard opened the scoring in the 18th minute and struck again late on after Kane had finally doubled England's lead with a 72nd-minute penalty, which was won by fellow substitute Mason Mount.

Saka gave a more realistic reflection of England's total domination against the Pyrenees principality when he headed in a fourth goal on his 20th birthday.

England's victory in their first match at Wembley since the heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat by Italy in the Euro 2020 final in July maintained their 100 per cent record in qualifying for next year's World Cup in Qatar.

They top Group I with 15 points, six ahead of Albania who beat Hungary 1-0. Poland will cut their lead to five presuming they beat San Marino later on Sunday.
