England continued with their winning start to the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with a 4-0 thrashing of minnows Malta on Friday night.
In the matchday three Group C fixture at Ta’ Qali National Stadium, The Three Lions set their noses ahead with only eight minutes played when Ferdinando Apap turned the ball into his own net while under pressure to clear a dangerous ball inside the area.
Trent Alexander-Arnold then scored a stunning goal in the 28th minute for the Gareth Southgate-led side before Harry Kane made it 3-0 from the penalty spot in the 31st minute and substitute Callum Wilson rounded off the emphatic victory from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute.
