England secured their spot in the FIFA World Cup finals with a convincing 5-0 victory over Latvia in Riga, marking their eighth consecutive appearance in the tournament. This win maintains their flawless record in the qualifiers, with six wins from six matches.


Thomas Tuchel made two changes to the starting lineup that beat Wales five days prior. Captain Harry Kane returned to lead the team, while Myles Lewis-Skelly earned a starting spot as England dominated Latvia.


Harry Kane was immediately involved in the action, having an early goal disallowed for offside. He then wasted a promising chance, shooting wide from Anthony Gordon's delivery. Despite the missed opportunities, England's attack looked potent.


The Three Lions were determined to seal their World Cup qualification quickly, and their confident start reflected their eagerness. Further chances fell to Gordon and Bukayo Saka as England dominated the match.


The breakthrough for England came when Anthony Gordon latched onto John Stones' long pass, cut inside from the left, and unleashed a powerful shot that proved unstoppable for Krišjānis Zviedris.




The Three Lions were in control, and Harry Kane further cemented their dominance with a stunning long-range strike, finishing with a beautiful left-footed shot. He then sealed a comfortable half-time lead with a penalty, converting from the spot in the final kick before halftime.


Latvia's Paolo Nicolato's team briefly tested the English defense after the break when Vladislavs Gutkovskis made a run towards goal. However, Ezri Konsa came to the rescue with a well-timed sliding tackle, averting the danger.


As expected, England's next goal was only a matter of time. The goal that finally arrived was somewhat fortuitous, but it didn't diminish the Three Lions' dominance.




Djed Spence delivered a precise cross from the right flank, and Andrejs Cigaņiks unfortunately deflected the ball into his own net at the far post, further increasing England's lead.


Despite the daunting task ahead, Latvia refused to give up. They created opportunities through Maksims Toņiševs and Eduards Dašķevičs, with the latter testing Jordan Pickford's reflexes and energizing the home crowd.


Eberechi Eze sealed the win with a clinical finish, rounding off a successful evening for England. The 5-0 scoreline reflected the one-sided nature of the match, and it was a straightforward victory for the Three Lions.




This win maintains England's perfect record in the qualifiers, with 17 goals scored and none conceded in six matches. However, the real challenge lies ahead for Thomas Tuchel, as he aims to guide the team to success in the World Cup and end England's long wait for a major trophy.
