England 0 – 4 Hungary

England remain bottom and winless in the Nations League after a miserable 4-0 home defeat to Hungary at Molineux.

A goal in each half from Roland Sallai was enough to put Hungary on course for their first victory in this fixture on English soil since the historic 6-3 win at Wembley in 1953. Zsolt Nagy and Daniel Gazdag confirmed it to spark angry boos from the crowd.

The ignominy was underlined when John Stones was red carded late on – but by that stage defeat was already inevitable. It is a result that might not resonate down the ages quite as strongly as that 1953 defeat but it still spells huge problems for Gareth Southgate.

His team looked disjointed throughout and now face the possibility of relegation from the top tier of the Nations League. More worryingly, their form has deserted them in a World Cup year. These four fixtures have yielded no wins and just the one goal – a penalty.

But this was not just a failure in front of goal but a historic collapse – the worst home defeat that England have suffered in 94 years.
