Nations League: Hungary hammer England 4-0 to compound Southgate’s misery

Nations League: Hungary hammer England 4-0 to compound Southgate’s misery

By Emmanuel Okogba

Hungary ran England ragged scoring four unreplied goals to leave Gareth Southgate’s side rooted to the bottom of GroupA3.

The win was the completion of a double from Matchday 1 where Hungary won 1-0 from the spot.

England’s best chance came when Hungary goalkeeper Denes Dibusz saved to stop Willi Orban from heading a Bukayo Saka cross into his own net.

The English team was greeted by boos from the Molineux crowd after Hungary scored the third goal, and their night went from bad to worse when John Stones was sent off for a second bookable offence.

England’s next Nations League games come up in September away to Italy and at home to Germany.
