Kosovo Vs England

England manager Gareth Southgate: "It was a tight game and a good test for us really. It was a difficult pitch, with players slipping and passes going astray.

We needed a tighter game and a challenge. I'm happy we got that. We had to sustain spells of pressure and gave them chances - on another night that would be a problem.

But attacking we were ruthless. I thought Harry Winks was excellent in both games and takes the ball well when we need calming. There have been too many people free in the box and chances given away.

We know there is still a bit of work to do but I can't fault the players in this campaign, they've been ruthless. England captain Harry Kane: "It was a difficult game, a difficult pitch, they were up for it and we had already won the group, so the mentality was not easy to go again.

In Serbia, Russia and possibly Bosnia-Herzegovina, who themselves are in the playoffs, there are two or maybe even three opponents that Kosovo will not be able to be drawn against - if they qualify.

Because those nations do not recognize Kosovo, the UEFA statues will prevent them from being matched up in the group stages.

No wonder the EURO draw is already been seen as a complicated process. Even then, with precious points or a place in the next round on the line, it will still without a doubt be a friendly affair.

In reality, not the easiest night. Harry Winks grabbed the first early on but it took late goals from Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Mason mount to seal victory.

Thirty seven goals in total from qualification, which is more than ever before. At the very least, a step in the right direction. Kosovo get sloppy playing out from the back and a slip lets Harry Kane steal the ball.

He passes it on to Mount who can steer home from inside the box. Into the final minute we go and England are happily knocking the ball around knowing victory is secure in their final qualifier.

If my maths are right, Fikayo Tomori is England's final change as he replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back for his senior international debut.

Raheem Sterling is at the centre of things again, carving through the middle before slipping a fine pass into the path of Rashford.

The Manchester United man produces a precise finish and that is lovely. Goal No 10 in England colours.

After a dip in tempo, suddenly Hadergjonaj bursts down the right and looks to be in, but slips at the key moment and can only scuff his shot at Pope.

Seconds later, Hadergjonaj races clear again, beating Chilwell, but his cross is recovered at the far post, some nice interchange is then wasted by Kosovo with an overhit through-ball.

Tyrone Mings has a chance to build from the back but wastes it with an overly ambitious ball forwards. Ben Chilwell drives in from the left and forces a good save, Sterling lays the rebound up for Kane who rattles the post!

Raheem Sterling appears set to pull the triggers moments later but has the ball robbed off his toes. Oxlade-Chamberlain displayed the invention that could make him indispensable to England's midfield going forward!

The midfielder picked up possession before hitting the perfect pass through to the onrushing Winks in between the Kosovo centre-backs.

England put together a fluent passing move, that culminates with Oxlade-Chamberlain sliding a throughball to Winks on the edge of the area, before the midfielder glides past Rrahmani to slot a simple finish beyond the helpless Muric from eight yards!

Hudson-Odoi gathers a pass on the edge of the box, before twisting and turning past a couple of challenges and firing an effort from 18 yards straight at Muric.

Rashica slaloms into the England box where Sterling almost trips him with a clumsy challenge, but the attacker sportingly stays on his feet and gets crowded out by the defence.

Winks barges Berisha over as Kosovo try to push forward again - he's fortunate not to receive a booking for his latest foul.

Sterling drives through the heart of the Kosovo defence before attempt a cute flick through to Kane, but the striker's header back to Sterling is too weak and the hosts clear.

Rashica lashes a powerful shot from 30 yards, but it goes straight towards Pope who gratefully gathers the effort.

Kosovo almost open the scoring! Berisha whips in a devious corner from the left, where Rrahmani meets the delivery at the near post before powering a header at goal drifts just wide!

Sterling and Alexander-Arnold attempt a clever one-two, but the right-back's returned dink is ever so slightly overhit and Muric rushes out to thwart the chance.

England have looked sharp when they've moved the ball quickly into the final third, but those passages of play have been fleeting.

Mostly, their midfield three have struggled to put together anything intricate with their possession. Hadergjonaj drives up from defence again and tries to take on Chilwell, but his cross is blocked before ricocheting off his own foot and away for a goal kick.

Strong save from Muric! Chilwell manages to burst aggressively down the left flank, before drilling a cross in for Kane who lays a pass off to Sterling, before the Manchester City attacker hits a fierce shot towards the top right corner, where Muric leaps to tip the shot wide!
