England Dominates Andorra 3-0 in 2026 World Cup Qualifier at Villa Park

England continued their strong start to the 2026 World Cup European qualifying campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Andorra on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham.

The Three Lions, managed by Thomas Tuchel, remain unbeaten in Group K with four wins from four, extending their lead at the top of the group and demonstrating their determination to qualify for next year's World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

England maintained their winning momentum despite some squad absences and injury issues, with notable performances across the pitch. Harry Kane, England's captain, continued his fine form, adding to his goal tally, while emerging talents like Eberechi Eze and Marcus Rashford played key roles in the attacking setup.

This match followed their previous narrow 1-0 win at Andorra in Barcelona earlier this year, where Kane’s decisive strike secured victory. The 3-0 result at home showed England's growing confidence and control as they prepare for the tournament next year.

Thomas Tuchel used this opportunity to experiment with his squad, including the integration of defender Dan Burn, who described his experience with the national team as increasingly confident and rewarding after his third call-up. Tuchel continues to mold his team, balancing established stars with rising players to deepen squad options ahead of the World Cup.

England's victory at Villa Park not only boosts their qualification campaign but also helps restore some faith after their recent 3-1 loss to Senegal in a friendly raised questions about the team’s direction. Missing players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is currently settling into his new role at Real Madrid, were notable, but the squad depth was well displayed.

Overall, this win against one of Europe’s smaller nations reaffirms England’s status as World Cup favorites in their qualifying group, putting them firmly on track as the countdown to the 2026 tournament continues.
