I'm old enough to remember when qualifying for European Championships and World Cups was, sometimes, beyond us. Criticise Southgate all you want, but he makes qualifying for major tournaments look easier than falling off a log.

Wayne: Maybe the serial whingers will give Southgate some credit now? I won’t hold my breath…
CM: Even when Italy won the Euros, everyone knew who the best team in Europe were. That was what made it so cruel. Good to see the reality right now - let's take it forwards lads!

This is proving to be a costly night for Italy.
Not only are they losing this game, but they're going to lose second place in the group. Ukraine are beating Malta 3-1.
Ukraine play Italy in the final round of games.

England were knocked out of their stride here by that Italy opening goal. After dusting themselves down, they've been highly impressive.
It's second-half displays like this that makes Three Lions fans truly believe this side can achieve something special.

Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveBellingham has been at the heart of everything tonight, causing chaos all over the pitch.
No wonder the Wembley crowd are on their feet to applaud him off the pitch.

Bellingham is the future but Kane still the main man. What a star.

Bellingham rightly taking plenty of plaudits but Harry Kane also deserves a mention he's been sensational tonight.
Anon
Who am I watching? This is outstanding. After that first goal, I thought, here we go, England offering so much but not finishing in the final third. Bellingham, Rashford, Foden, Kane… absolutely brilliant. Are we actually about to do the double over Italy?

If Italy are to take anything from this - and it looks very unlikely - they'll need to make something happen fast.

Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
Image source, Getty ImagesIt has just been a real physical element to Harry Kane's game this evening.
Scalvini tries to push him off the ball but can't and then once he is past him Kane gets to the ball ahead of Bastoni, pushes him off too.
The angle to Donnarumma was superb, made the finish so easy for himself. Expert forward play.
He was through on goal, no one was going to stop him, just had to hit the target.

GOAL - England 3-1 Italypublished at 77 mins
Harry Kane
BRILLIANT!
This is top, top quality centre forward play. He holds off his marker to turn and gather Marc Guehi's fired pass forward before flicking the ball past the covering Giorgio Scalvini. After that he is away.
Alessandro Bastoni tries to get back but he's got no chance of getting between the England captain and his goal. Gianluigi Donnarumma doesn't have a prayer as Kane slots in.
England are heading to Germany.

Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveItaly aren't quite sure how to handle Bellingham are they?
Cristante complaining to the referee there but he did catch Bellingham as he tried to burst forward.
He is just so good at that Bellingham, receiving the ball on the back foot and bang, into that pocket of space in front of the opposition defence.

Into the last 20 minutes. England are in a fine position as regards qualifying for the Euros finals.
They won't want to let this lead slip, though, even if only a draw is enough.
