Your support makes all the difference.Jadon Sancho announced himself on the international stage in some style, scoring twice on a night when England's ruthless edge made up for some shambolic defending in a thrilling, high-scoring win against Kosovo.
A sell-out St Mary's crowd bore witness to the most entertaining qualifier in many a year as Gareth Southgate's men continued their march to Euro 2020 with an enthralling, if at times unconvincing, 5-3 victory on the south coast.
Defensive errors gifted Kosovo a shock opener and then second-half hope, but a clinical first half proved decisive as Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane goals were complemented by an own goal and quickfire brace from Sancho in a helter-skelter clash.

England have so much space on the break. But they haven't taken advantage of it in this second half. Aliti goes into the book for fouling Sancho and stopping another counter attack, and England will have a free kick within shooting range.

So close! Somehow England don't have a sixth goal. Kane robs Halimi of the ball and plays Sterling through on goal. Muric does just enough to turn his effort from close range against the post, and the ball bounces clear.

Sterling goes close again! A Kosovo attack breaks down and England race away through Sancho on the counter. He sweeps the ball into the path of Sterling, whose shot is deflected and rolls agonisingly past the post.

Keane is next to go for goal, heading a Henderson cross just wide at the near post. This game is being played at a relentless, breathtaking pace.

Another England counter attack breaks down as Barkley looks to slide a pass into the path of Sancho. They've been strangely wasteful in the second half.

Berisha goes into the book for petulantly kicking the ball away. It takes some of the gloss off an excellent night for the Lazio man.
