Following on from an impressive 5-0 win over Serbia in a World Cup qualifier in September, Thomas Tuchel named the same side - and they repaid his faith with another commanding 3-0 victory.

The home side came flying out of the blocks and established their three-goal lead inside only 20 minutes.

Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers opened the scoring, turning in Marc Guehi's cross after four minutes.

His club team-mate Ollie Watkins, who was filling in for injured captain Harry Kane, doubled the Three Lions lead from close range seven minutes later.

Bukayo Saka added the third, curling a superb left-footed effort high past Wales keeper Karl Darlow.

The winger's 13th goal for his country makes him Arsenal's highest-scoring England international.

England now turn their attention to Latvia in their next World Cup qualifier in Riga on Tuesday, while Wales host Belgium in Cardiff on Monday.
