England secured a 3-0 victory over Ukraine at the Hill Dickinson Stadium but will need to succeed in the playoffs to reach the 2026 World Cup finals. Harry Kane netted a brace while Marcus Rashford added another goal.
The win snapped England's recent losing streak and restored confidence. However, missing the top spot forces the Three Lions into the European playoff round.
