Good evening, and welcome to live coverage of Hungary versus England in World Cup Qualifying Group I. You all surely know the story of that match. One down in under a minute; that little fat chap Ferenc Puskas sending Billy Wright away like a fire truck in the wrong direction; Nandor Hidegutki helping himself to a treble; right back Alf Ramsey – all of England in fact – looking on agog at the puncturing of imperial hubris. Hungary’s seminal 6-3 scudding of England at Wembley in November 1953 is first-page-of-the-curriculum stuff for international football history. But the pain didn’t end there for Albion folks, oh no. Six months later, as a warm-up to the 1954 World Cup, England travelled to this very spot in Budapest to set the record straight, temporarily kidding themselves that Wembley had been an aberration and that the Magical Magyars could be swiftly slapped back down the pecking order of the international game. The 7-1 defeat that followed is the heaviest in England’s history, a

End of 2nd Half
FT
That's full time. On another shameful evening for football and society, England have beaten Hungary 4-0.
90'
We'll have a minimum of two additional minutes.
88'
Two changes for England, as Henderson and Saka replace Rice and Grealish.
87'
GOAL! Hungary 0 England 4 (Rice 87)
It's four for England, and another shocker for Gulacsi. Grealish rolls it back to Rice on the edge of the D, and his first time shot goes underneath the awkward dive of Gulasci and creeps over the line.

Jesse Lingard replaces Mount for England.
82'
Gabriel Clarke, ITV's pitchside reporter is at the end where the projectiles have been thrown at England players. He is also reporting monkey chants from local ultras, directed at Sterling and Jude Bellingham warming up at the side, which are 'audible and visible'. This really is a shameful night.
80'
CHANCE! Hungary have a dip now, working Salloi into space on the right of the area, but his booming drive is stopped by Pickford.
78'
CHANCE! This is a duck shoot now, Kane should be filling his boots, but he's not; Grealish slides him clean through with a gorgeous pass through the inside right channel, but again Kane's drive is too close to Gulacsi and it's parried away to safety.
77'
CHANCE! Shaw slides Sterling through, clean on goal. He looks well offside but the rules are such that on we go, and Sterling rounds Gulacsi only to see his meekly hit shot partially blocked and retrieved by the goalkeeper.
75'
Varga has been lively since he came on. He jinks past Shaw down the right, but his low cross is fizzed straight into the hands of Pickford.
72'
Finally an effort from Hungary, as Salloi ballons a cross high over the bar from 12 yards out.
70'

Varga replaces Bolla for Hungary.
69'
GOAL! Hungary 0 England 3 (Maguire 69)
Shaw is being pelted with cups now as he takes a corner from the left. The sound of silence follows, as Maguire rises to plant ahead through the weak hands of Gulacsi and into the goal.

CHANCE! England are slicing through Hungary now. Grealish feeds Kane with a lovely through pass, but from a wide angle his shot is blocked by the foot of Gulacsi.
66'
Salloi is on for Hungary, replacing Sallai.
65'
That's Harry Kane's 39th goal for England. One more and he'll pull level with Michael Owen.
63'
GOAL! Hungary 0 England 2 (Kane 63)
It's two, and that should be that. Hungary give it away cheaply, and England work it quickly to Sterling in acres on the right. His cross his partially deflected by Attila Szalai, and pops up for the unmarked Kane to thump a header past Gulacsi from six yards out.

Sterling runs Orban down that side now, who just about bundles the ball behind for a corner.
59'
Undeterred, Sterling takes on Attila Szilai in the same corner, who just about gets a toe on the ball to concede a corner.
58
Willi Orban goes in the book now for dumping Grealish over.
