England suffered their worst home defeat since 1928 as Hungary left Molineux with a 4-0 Nations League winsallai.
Jarrod Bowen had mistimed his jump on a header at 0-0 and the anxiety in the stands was tangible following the first goal, along with the sense of foreboding because Hungary are so tough to break down. At full-time, he walked out on to the pitch and – bravely or foolishly – applauded the crowd. The forward’s first touch was true; he blasted the second past the exposed Ramsdale. Previously, England had lacked inspiration, coming to look more and more unnerved as the chuntering from the home support rose inexorably. He chased down the rebound before crumpling to the ground under no challenge; a lamentable dive that summed things up. Gareth Southgate knew that he needed a win to restore a measure of calm after a deeply unconvincing start to this Nations League campaign, which had brought two points from the first three ties and one goal; none from open play.

I understand the fans' frustration, we will keep working to try and have a successful World Cup." "4-0 is difficult to accept, but I think Southgate proved he is quite a good coach. It was a hapless performance that deserves all the criticism it gets, but to call for Southgate's head is remarkable, given his achievements as England manager. As bad as England were, Hungary fully earned a historic win. "Second half was not acceptable after going 2-0 down. It is the first time England have been beaten by four goals in a home game since a 5-1 loss to Scotland in 1928.

England England Hungary will be top on seven points with Germany a point behind in second following their home win over Italy, who drop to third.
England's miserable run in the UEFA Nations League continued with a shocking 4-0 defeat to Hungary at Molineux.
The forward stabs a low finish beyond Ramsdale after Hungary caught England, and Phillips in particular, napping. He was a nuisance to the England defence throughout and capped a strong display with some clinical finishing. This was just a very bad day at the office but the lack of goals does remain the biggest concern. It hasn’t helped by having to play four games in 11 days at the end of a gruelling club season, but other sides seem to have coped better than this. A night to forget for England. ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’ was the chant aimed at Southgate as the game ran away from the Three Lions late on. Subs: A.Nagy 7, Gazdag 7, Adam 7, Nego 7.

Cue chants of 'you don't know what you're doing' from the home crowd... It was pretty harsh, in truth, as he was perceived to have purposely blocked his man off the ball - but all in the name of 'miscellaneous football thrashing bingo'. Phillips' nightmare continued as he was dispossessed and outmuscled by Hungary substitute Martin Adam in his own half, and he coolly laid the ball off for Sallai to bag his brace with what was clearly a toe punt that sailed straight through Aaron Ramsdale's legs. While Harry Kane came closest to scoring what would have been a measly consolation for England, Hungary scored THREE MORE in the second half as they ran riot in the Midlands. However, it took just 16 minutes for things to go pear-shaped for the hosts, as Roland Sallai lashed home a fine finish after England failed to clear from a free kick. A nightmarish start to the Three Lions' Nations League went from pretty bad to God awful at Molineux, as the visitors ran riot and ensured they would take six points from two matches against Gareth Southgate's side.

5th minute: Phillips is the lone holder in there, with Gallagher and Bellingham operating to right and left respectively. 1st minute: England players took the knee before kickoff and it was unanimously applauded by the home fans - a very different scenario to those Euro 2020 warmup games a year ago. 21st minute: England's response to going behind hasn't been overly convincing and a big problem from this position is their lack of goals so far in the competition. 23rd minute: The positive early atmosphere is starting to take a turn amid a few misplaced passes. 33rd minute: Stones is unusually slack in possession and Hungary burst into the England box but can't capitalise. 50th minute: On the other hand, if Hungary are unaware of where Bellingham is going to pop up that's a problem for them. 45th minute +2: It came to nothing, like the three before it and there's a smattering of boos at the whistle. It's another England corner but the referee has spotted a foul by the attacking team. 64th minute: Sallai is almost in for his second of the game but can't get a raking pass under control. Plenty of endeavour from England and some good flashes, with Sterling just then dropping off and darting through a couple of challenges. 67th minute: More and more restlessness from the fans behind us. But the story is this is England's biggest ever home defeat to a non-Home Nation. It's seismic blow to their preparations for the World Cup later in the year.
'You've got to have the balance of a team right,' the manager said as he reflected on England's 4-0 Nations League defeat by Hungary at Molineux.
“I know how it works,” Southgate said. “I think some of the desire to see open play … we saw [against Hungary] that you’ve got to have the balance of a team right,” Southgate said. “Without a doubt,” he said. Southgate must consider a period of introspection and pain. The worries were numerous on Tuesday night, one of the biggest being how the players failed to cope in front of an impatient crowd. “Now you think: ‘God, wish we had done [it].’ But actually that would have been selfish to keep pressure off me rather than do what’s right for England going to a World Cup. A theme of the get-together was Southgate’s belief in his stalwarts. It was a reminder to myself in the second half that, OK, you go for a gamble to try to win the game because you think that’s important. He knew he had to do so to avoid placing too much strain on the first choices and to understand better his backup options. I didn’t view that as a criticism of Harry. He’s actually had three really strong performances with us.” “That [the booing] was directed at me [and not Maguire],” Southgate said. But England were taken apart by a well-organised, quick-transitioning Hungary to leave them bottom of Nations League Group A3 with two points from four matches and one goal.
