5 key stats from England's historic 10-0 drubbing of San Marino | 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

#3 England score 10 goals for the first time since 1964

England's goal-crazy night equaled a 57-year-old record

Scoring 10 goals in a game is never easy, but England are no stranger to the feat.

Way back in 1964, Alf Ramsey's historic Three Lions team beat USA 10-0 in New York, albeit in a friendly game.

Liverpool ace Roger Hunt netted four times while Frederick Pickering scored a hat-trick. Terence Paine and Bobby Charlton were the other scorers on the historic day.

Gareth Southgate's young and exuberant squad have now joined their ranks by equaling the record, and moreover, in a competitive game.

#2 Kane - the first England player to score back-to-back hat-tricks since 1927

Kane was on fire once again last night, netting four times!

Harry Kane's struggles with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this season are well-documented. But his form with the national set-up is fine as ever.

In fact, it's the best we've seen from him, as the striker followed up his hat-trick against Albania last week with a four-goal salvo last night.

In the process, he became the first English player to score consecutive trebles in competitive games since Dixie Dean in 1927!

It's a terrific record indeed, with Kane also just the fourth player in the nation's history to record back-to-back hat-tricks in all competitions.

#1 England record their biggest away competitive victory

England score 10 goals in a game for the only second time in their history

As we saw earlier, this isn't the first time that England scored 10 goals in a game. But that feat in 1964 came on home soil.

Their biggest away victory in a competitive game was a pair of 8-0 wins against Turkey and, you guessed it, San Marino.

The first came in 1984 in a World Cup qualifying game, inspired by a Bryan Robson hat-trick, before the Three Lions repeated the trick 29 years later.

Seven different players were on the scoresheet that night at the Stadio Olimpico in 2013, including Jermaine Defoe, who struck a brace.

But now history has been rewritten, with Gareth Southgate's putting 10 past the hapless San Marino for their biggest away victory in a competitive game.

Expect the record to stay that way for a long time.
