Thomas Tuchel's England players are on the brink of making World Cup history after beating Serbia.
Having already secured their place at the 2026 World Cup last month, the Three Lions returned to action at Wembley on Thursday night against Serbia.
The visitors needed to avoid defeat and hope Andorra manage to get something against Albania to keep their World Cup dream alive.
However, England went ahead in the 28th minute thanks to Arsenal star Bukayo Saka, who produced a fine finish inside the penalty area.

In the second half, Serbia wasted a golden opportunity to draw level before substitute Eberechi Eze made it 2-0 in stoppage time.
Reacting to Eze's goal on BBC Radio 5 Live, ex-England goalkeeper Paul Robinson said: "That was worth the entrance fee in itself. Eberechi Eze cutting in from the left-hand-side and he chooses to take it first time. He opens himself up, but there is nothing that Predrag Rajkovic can do."
In the end, England sealed a well-deserved 2-0 victory.
As a result, Tuchel's men continued their perfect record of seven wins out of seven in Group K.
With victory over Serbia, England are also on the brink of making history.
As per The Times' football writer Bill Edgar, England could become 'the first European side not to concede in a World Cup qualifying campaign of more than 6 games' if they manage to earn a cleansheet in their next World Cup qualifier.
Edgar also added: "Last Euro team not to concede in 6-game WC qualifying campaign: England ahead of 1990 WC."
Robinson also went on to praise the impact of Jordan Henderson, who was brought on in the second half by Tuchel.
He said: "In games like this where England are controlling the game, Thomas Tuchel brings Jordan Henderson on and he controls the tempo. He is the manager on the pitch."
The Three Lions are back in action on Sunday afternoon when they round off their World Cup qualifying fixtures by taking on Albania at the Arena Kombetare in Tirana.
