England suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat by Hungary
England are staring relegation from the top tier of the Nations League in the face after a 4-0 thrashing by Hungary on Tuesday inflicted the Three Lions’ heaviest home defeat since 1928.
Hungary secured their first win over England for 60 years in Budapest 10 days ago and followed that up with their first win on English soil since a famous 6-3 win at Wembley in 1953.
England suffer their biggest home defeat in 94 years as they capitulate to a 4-0 beating at the hands of Hungary at Molineux; Gareth Southgate's side remain winless in the Nations League after four of their six games and are now facing the prospect of relegation from the top tier
A goal in each half from Roland Sallai was enough to put Hungary on course for their first victory in this fixture on English soil since the historic 6-3 win at Wembley in 1953. Zsolt Nagy and Daniel Gazdag confirmed it to spark angry boos from the crowd.
The ignominy was underlined when John Stones was red carded late on - but by that stage defeat was already inevitable. It is a result that might not resonate down the ages quite as strongly as that 1953 defeat but it still spells huge problems for Gareth Southgate.
His team looked disjointed throughout and now face the possibility of relegation from the top tier of the Nations League. More worryingly, their form has deserted them in a World Cup year. These four fixtures have yielded no wins and just the one goal - a penalty.
But this was not just a failure in front of goal but a historic collapse - the biggest home defeat that England have suffered in 94 years.
