England made it seven wins from seven in World Cup qualifying on Thursday evening, goals from Bukayo Saka in the first-half and Eberechi Eze in the 90th minute ended Serbia's hopes of making the 2026 tournament.
Manager Thomas Tuchel had promised little in the way of experimentation, despite a spot already being secured in North America next summer, and was as good as his word when naming the starting XI for the Wembley clash.
Manchester City defender Nico O'Reilly was handed an international debut, the latest player to try and nail down the left-back slot, but the returning Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden started the game on the substitute's bench, Tuchel continuing to start with Morgan Rogers after his impressive performances in October's matches.
A quartet of changes in the second-half allowed Bellingham and Foden to make their England comebacks and both impressed, combining to set up fellow substitute Eze to put the gloss on another step forward for Tuchel's side, who maintain their 100% record in qualifying and are still yet to concede a goal ahead of their final game in Albania.
