England has secured its place at next year's World Cup finals, courtesy of a 5-0 victory against Latvia, with captain Harry Kane scoring twice. The win ensures England finishes at the top of qualifying Group K.
Breaking the deadlock took England 25 minutes, as Anthony Gordon fired the opener. Kane added two goals just before halftime, capitalizing on a Latvian defensive error and a penalty situation. Djed Spence's cross resulted in an own goal by Maksims Tonisevs, while Eberechi Eze sealed the triumph with a fifth goal.
Under the stewardship of Thomas Tuchel, England has accumulated a perfect 18 points, scoring 18 goals without conceding.
