England has earned its spot at the next World Cup coming up next year in a great display after trashing Latvia 5-0 in Riga.
England, coached by Thomas Tuchel, which required only three points to seal their qualification, went as far as not only scoring a goal to nil but five to tear a team ranked 137th globally to secure their spot.
While the team got a commanding win, the head coach, Tuchel, did not leave without being booed and mocked by fans who travelled to watch the game for his previous remark about “silent” fans at Wembley.
England, which had a very easy game, earned its first goal through Anthony Gordon through a brilliant shot before Harry Kane, who captained the team, netted a brace to make it three. Kane scored his first goal through a strike from distance and the second from the penalty spot.
England’s fourth goal came from an own goal committed by Latvia’s Andrejs Ciganiks after he mistakenly fired a cross from Djed Spence into his own net. The win was sealed with the fifth goal from Eberechi Eze, who came in as a substitute through a fine solo finish.
This win earns the Three Lions its place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with two more matches to go, making it a perfect beginning for Thomas Tuchel’s time in the team as manager.
