Assist: Ross Barkley. "That was a spectacular goal from Rashford. He ran down the wing before losing Pashov with a nice Cruyff turn on the left edge of the box. Then, from a tight angle, he smashed a rising shot that went through Iliev and into the net. Iliev might have done better, on reflection, but it was a vicious strike." Marcus Rashford8th of 16 goals. Right-footed from 15 yards., 7' 06:29
Assist: Raheem Sterling. "The goal was made by Sterling, who quickened the pace with a run infield from the right. He played a neat one-two on the edge of the area with Kane - who has been England’s most penetrative passer in recent games - and drove the ball across the face to give Barkley an open goal. At first I thought it was offside, but on reflection I think Barkley was behind Sterling when the ball was played. There’s no VAR. I’m also not sure whether Sterling was trying to shoot or cross the ball to Barkley. Who cares." Ross Barkley5th of 6 goals. Left-footed from 2 yards., 20' 19:39
Assist: Harry Kane. "Ross Barkley gets his second goal with a deft header from Harry Kane’s right-wing cross." Ross Barkley6th of 6 goals. Header from 6 yards., 32' 31.42
Assist: Harry Kane. "Harry Kane, the assist king, gives an open goal to Raheem Sterling at the end of another nice team move." Raheem Sterling11th of 20 goals. Right-footed from 3 yards., 45' +348.47
Assist: Harry Kane. "England score five goals for the fourth time in their Euro 2020 qualification campaign. Kane slides a nice pass through to Sterling, who finishes with precision. Harry Kane’s through passing, both tonight and against the Czech Republic, has been devastating." Raheem Sterling12th of 20 goals. Left-footed from 12 yards., 69' 68:05
Assist: Ben Chilwell. "Kane slipped the ball through the legs of the last man Terziev, ran through and sidefooted the ball past Iliev." Harry Kane28th of 59 goals. Left-footed from 12 yards., 85' 84:12
