FULL TIME! Full time sees England win with another qualifying game. England have now scored at least 4 goals in all eight of their Euro 2020 qualifiers. 37 goals in 8 games. The second half was the key and even though they looked shaky at times, they managed to go away confidently with the win.

Kosovo have a shot, good approach play sees Celina receive the ball, but he skies the ball well over the bar.
