    (c) Card 72'71:41 "Nottingham Forest defender and Serbia captain Nikola Milenkovic is off. It's a straight red card and he was the last man. He raced across to try to stop Harry Kane, the England man got to the ball first and was then wiped out by Milenkovic."

  • GoalAssist: Declan Rice. "That's five goals for Harry Kane in Thomas Tuchel's five and a bit games in charge of England. It comes following a corner from Declan Rice and Kane, about 12 yards out, stoops low to get a header at goal, and the ball has enough power on it to bounce into the far corner of the net."Harry Kane74th of 74 goals. Header from 11 yards., 33' 32:22
  • GoalAssist: Morgan Rogers. "Elliot Anderson plays it into Morgan Rogers, and his intelligent flick is perfect into Madueke's path. His pace has caused problems for the Serbia defence throughout the match and he is far too quick again. He cuts across his marker, who would have conceded a penalty if he had brought him down, but the finish from Madueke is just lovely, lofted over the advancing Dorde Petrovic."Noni MaduekeOnly Goal. Left-footed from 8 yards., 35' 34:59
  • GoalAssist: Marc Guéhi. "Anthony Gordon takes a shot, it is parried by the goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic, Marc Guehi gets there first and, under pressure, sends it sideways and Ezri Konsa is there at the back post to slam the loose ball into the net."Ezri KonsaOnly Goal. Left-footed from 2 yards., 52' 51:45
  • GoalAssist: Declan Rice. "That Nikola Milenkovic foul costs Serbia twice. He got a red card for the offence and Declan Rice floats a free-kick to the back post and Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi is stronger than his marker, gets in front of him and is able to flick the ball into the net."Marc GuéhiOnly Goal. Right-footed from 5 yards., 75' 74:16
  • GoalAssist: Ollie Watkins. "Ollie Watkins looks to have been brought down in the penalty area, but he does not get the spot kick. Strahinja Erakovic slid in and doesn't get the ball. Watkins punches the ground in frustration. The referee has been told to go and check it on a pitchside monitor. Possible penalty for England incoming...Given after a VAR check told the referee to watch it on a monitor. Marcus Rashford to take it...It was a slow walk up to the ball from Marcus Rashford, who constantly has his eyes on the Serbia keeper. Rashford slots the ball into the bottom left corner, while the goalkeeper barely moves."Marcus Rashford18th of 18 goals. Right-footed from 12 yards., 90' 89:49 (pen)

Initially Turpin didn't give the penalty, however VAR had a lengthy check and summoned the referee to the TV screen [88:21] where he only needed one look to award the penalty.
