This is how England could not defeat Hungary at Wembley – PHOTOS

A first-half penalty earned by Loic Nego and dispatched confidently by Roland Sallai put Hungary ahead against England in London and although John Stones levelled the scores before half-time, Marco Rossi’s team were well worth their point in the end.

Hungary head coach Rossi named a largely familiar lineup for his team’s second World Cup qualifier in just over three days, Péter Gulácsi in goal behind a back three of Attila Szalai, Ákos Kecskés – on his full debut – and Ádám Lang with Loic Nego at right wing-back and Zsolt Nagy on the left side. Ádám Nagy and András Schäfer screened the defence behind Dominik Szoboszlai in the playmaker role and Roland Sallai and Szabolcs Schön providing attacking thrust upfront.

Following a 4-0 defeat at the hands of England in Budapest

last month and a single-goal home loss to Albania on Saturday, Hungary’s World Cup qualification dreams were largely confined to mathematical possibnility only, but they didn’t let this affect them and instead put on a performance full of vim and vigour.

England left-back Luke Shaw’s high foot struck Nego in the face and handed Sallai the chance to score from the penalty spot in the 24th minute, an opportunity he took with aplomb by sending opposing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford the wrong way and confidently striking the ball low into the left side of the England goal.
