The match was decided in the 50th minute when captain Harry Kane converted a cross from Noni Madueke after his initial shot was saved. The goal marked Kane’s 72nd for England and came in his 106th appearance, equalling the national team caps of Sir Bobby Charlton and Frank Lampard.
Despite dominating possession against a defensive Andorra side, England struggled to turn their control into clear-cut chances. Manager Thomas Tuchel voiced his dissatisfaction after the match, criticising the team’s lack of urgency and sharpness in the final third. Kane also admitted there was room for improvement, noting England needed more forward passes and better movement off the ball.
The victory maintained England’s flawless record under Tuchel, with three wins from three qualifying matches and no goals conceded. The result leaves England at the top of Group K with nine points, ahead of Albania and Latvia.
England’s next fixture is a friendly against Senegal at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground on Tuesday.
