England beat Malta 2-0 in their penultimate Euro 2024 qualifying clash at Wembley on Friday evening.
The Three Lions went ahead after just eight minutes when Malta defender Enrico Pepe unfortunately deflected Phil Foden's cross past his own keeper.
England struggled to build on their lead and weren't quite at their best in north London.
However, Harry Kane made it 2-0 late on as he finished off a fine team move to continue his fine form.
