Harry Kane wrote his name into World Cup folklore once again as he struck twice to lead England to a convincing 3-0 victory over Serbia in their Group D opener. The striker opened the scoring midway through the first half and added a late second to seal the points, ensuring England started their campaign with maximum points and a healthy goal difference.

Jude Bellingham produced the highlight of the night with a sensational 25-yard strike that flew past the helpless Serbian goalkeeper and gave England a 2-0 lead at half-time. The midfielder's strike not only showcased his world-class quality but also lifted the entire England squad, who dominated possession and created numerous opportunities throughout the match.

With the three points secured, England sit top of Group D after just one match, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting campaign. Serbia will need to regroup quickly ahead of their next fixture as they look to bounce back from this disappointing start to their World Cup journey.
