Rampant England eased past Hungary in Budapest on Thursday with a second-half four-goal barrage that propels Gareth Southgate’s men toward qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after a tie marred by abusive fan behaviour. 

After a first half bereft of shots on target, Raheem Sterling broke the deadlock with a clipped shot 10 minutes into the second period before a pair of headers by Harry Kane and Harry Maguire soon after and a late Declan Rice strike sealed a 4-0 win. Before play began the England players took the knee to highlight racial injustice, and were met by cacophonous booing in the Puskas Arena.
