Moment fire breaks out at Andorra stadium during live TV report

A step closer to Qatar, without having to break into a sprint.

On an artificial pitch, England played out another win that could barely be called a real football match.

The only significance of this 5-0 win away to Andorra was the first international goals for Ben Chilwell and Jack Grealish, who will at least have something to remember from a match most people will immediately forget.

Perhaps the most accurate description of this game was that it was mostly a pleasant stroll through Pyrenean hills for the superb Phil Foden.

The playmaker both decorated the game and decided it, since it was his supreme passes that set up the first two goals that settled this game.

Andorra 0 - 5 England

It was a very professional performance from England. We’ve said that a lot about Gareth Southgate’s men in these qualifiers but they continue to impress.

Also tonight Albania defeated Hungary 1-0 meaning that it is unlikely for England to qualify for the World Cup during this international break.

England still need two wins from their remaining three games to make absolutely sure of automatic qualification. They face Hungary (h), Albania (h) and San Marino (a).

Full-time: Andorra 0 - 5 England

90+2 mins: It is a job well done for England and Gareth Southgate. They were comfortable all game and cruised to this 5-0 win. Tammy Abraham will gain confidence from his performance, Phil Foden was incredible, a cameo from Jack Grealish resulted in his first international goal and Sam Johnstone kept a clean sheet.
