Harry Kane, Noni Madueke, Ezra Konsa, Marc Guehi and Marcus Rasford all scored, while Serbia closed the match with 10 players after Nikola Milenkovic was sentenced to red card for an intervention at the end of the match.

This victory brought England seven points ahead of Albania's closest rivals to Group K, while Serbia is one point lower, with one match less.

While it was the perfect result for England, it was a catastrophic night for Serbia and could get even worse for them because of their fans' behaviour.

The Serbian Football Federation issued a statement before the match, calling on fans to behave well, adding that the governing body was fined 600,000 pounds from FIFA and UEFA for repeated violations of rules by supporters of Serbia, Telegraph reports, Periscope broadcast.

But this message was evidently ignored against England, with some controversial incidents surrounding the match.

Before and during the match, Serbian fans could be heard cheering “Kosovo is Serbia”, as they were also seen waving a provocative banner showing Kosovo's map covered in the colors of the Serbian flag.

Later, the match was interrupted shortly after the crowd of fans pointed a laser in Consera's face.

Shortly after the resumption, a message warned fans against using lasers and pyrotechnics.

During the entire match there were even thunders from fans of Serbia.

This caused confusion in the last moments of the match, with players and judges believing the game had ended 30 seconds earlier before Judge Clement Turpin gave the signal that the game was continued
