Match No. 997 - Tuesday, 10th September 2019, 7:45pm

Assist: Michael Keane. "Sterling was inside the six-yard area and Keane’s far-post header from a corner left the Manchester City player with the opportunity to nod in a goal that drastically changed the complexion of the evening." Raheem Sterling10th of 20 goals. Header from 4 yards., 8' 07:12
Assist: Raheem Sterling. "...a brilliantly disguised turn in the centre circle led directly to Kane scoring. As Sterling drove through the middle, Kane peeled off to the left. England’s captain took the shot on his left foot and Ari Muric, Kosovo’s goalkeeper, let the ball run beneath his body." Harry Kane26th of 62 goals. Left-footed from 7 yards., 19' 18:40
Assist: Jadon Sancho. "Sancho drove in a low cross from the right. Muric pulled his foot away when he had the chance to block it and the ball flew in off Mergim Vojvoda for an own goal." Mërgim Vojvoda, 38' (og)37:08
Assist: Raheem Sterling. "Sancho’s first goal was a right-foot finish from Sterling’s perfectly weighted pass..." Jadon Sancho1st of 3 goals. Right-footed from 6 yards., 44' 43:16
Assist: Raheem Sterling. "...and the same two players combined again to make it 5-1 in first-half added time. Sterling’s pass left Sancho with the simplest of chances, barely three yards out with the goalkeeper stranded, and England had scored three times in a six-minute blitz." Jadon Sancho2nd of 3 goals. Right-footed from 3 yards., 45' +145:43

"...England had also suffered the ignominy of going behind only 34 seconds into the match – a goal that will be remembered as a personal ordeal for Michael Keane." Valon Berisha , 1'0:34
"Again, however, they were guilty of a strange lack of focus at the start of the next half. This time it was Declan Rice with the loose pass. Muriqi’s cross picked out Berisha and England’s defence were badly out of position as he cut inside Jordan Henderson to beat Pickford with a splendid, rising shot." Valon Berisha , 49'48:25
"Maybe England were guilty of complacency. Whatever it was, they continued to defend obligingly and next it was Maguire’s turn to wave an apologetic hand. He had not properly managed to clear a cross and, trying to make up his mistake, tripped Muriqi. It was a clear penalty and Muriqi scored to Pickford’s left." Vedat Muriqi, 55'54:13 (pen)

Notes

Missed Penalty: Harry Kane2nd miss from 10th taken (80.0%). England's 124th overall. 63rd minute. "The next penalty decision was less obvious, for an alleged foul on Ross Barkley, but Muric blocked Kane’s effort and perhaps the only surprise was there were no more goals in the final 35 minutes."
