England Loses 4-0 to Hungary at home in Nations League
England was crushed by Hungary on Tuesday at Molineux Stadium, on the occasion of the 4th day of the League of Nations (0-4).
Gareth Southgate’s men suffered a heavy and historic defeat
England still can’t do it. Gareth Southgate’s men suffered a heavy and historic defeat on the 4th day of the Nations League, this Tuesday against Hungary (0-4), at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton. They still haven’t won in this edition.
You have to go back to a 5-1 conceded against Scotland in 1928 to find traces of such a wide home defeat for the Three Lions.
They find themselves dead last in their group with two points in four matches, behind their executioner of the day, Hungary (7 points), Germany (6 pts), and Italy (5 pts).
England can even start to worry about staying in League A, while they still have a trip to Italy on September 23, before receiving Germany on the 26th.
Already not very dashing during the first three days, the English seemed even blunter and out of ideas against a Hungary without complex, well organized, and very motivated.
Aaron Ramsdale is not flawless
You only have to see the way John Stones was eaten in the aerial duel which brought Roland Sallai’s first goal (0-1, 15th) to measure the difference in determination between the two teams.
On the second goal, Martin Adam, much sharper than Kalvin Philips, stole the ball from him before magnificently serving Sallai, who concluded with an outside left on which Aaron Ramsdale, was not faultless (0-2 , 69th).
The English goalkeeper was no more than eleven minutes from the end, on a powerful strike from Zsolt Nagy on the closed side (0-3, 79th).
Stones excluded
As if that were not enough, after expulsion from Stones for a second very severe yellow card sent by Clément Turpin (82nd), Daniel Gazdag completed the correction of a ball stung with finesse (0-4, 89th).
The missed action by Jared Bowen in the 5th minute – a header stopped on his line by a Hungarian defender – or the bar found with a header by Harry Kane at 0-2 are only miseries.
This event, of which no one expected anything on the English side at this time of the season and five months before the World Cup in Qatar, certainly shook the few certainties that the team still had, after a chaotic journey since the Euro final. 2020 lost a year ago.
