Captain Harry Kane came off the bench to score a spectacular second-half hat-trick as England maintained their flawless World Cup qualifying campaign with a ruthless 5-0 demolition of Andorra at a vibrant Wembley Stadium.
The Three Lions, fielding a much-changed starting XI, initially struggled to break down a stubborn Andorran defence. The deadlock was finally broken just before the hour mark when substitute Bukayo Saka's cross was turned into his own net by the unfortunate Christian Garcia.
Gareth Southgate's tactical changes proved decisive. The introduction of Kane, Jack Grealish, and Mason Mount injected immediate potency into England's attack. The floodgates opened soon after.
Kane's Clinical Masterclass
Kane announced his arrival in emphatic fashion, netting his first from the penalty spot after Mason Mount was fouled. His second was a moment of pure instinct, pouncing on a loose ball inside the six-yard box to volley home.
The Tottenham striker completed his perfect 27-minute cameo and secured his hat-trick with a powerful, dipping strike from outside the area, leaving the Andorran goalkeeper rooted to the spot.
Chilwell Caps the Rout
Not to be outdone, Ben Chilwell put the icing on the cake with a well-deserved goal in the 85th minute. The left-back, arriving late at the back post, volleyed home a first-time finish to complete the comprehensive 5-0 scoreline.
The victory ensures England remain top of Group I with a perfect record of six wins from six matches, putting them firmly on the path to qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
