Hungary thrashed a dreadful England 4-0 away on Tuesday to go top of their Nations League group and perpetuate the hosts' winless run in a competition they had hoped would be a morale-boosting warmup for the World Cup.
Hungary shocked last year's European Championship finalists in the 16th minute when a miscued header from John Stones dropped to Roland Sallai who controlled the ball on his high before drilling it past Aaron Ramsdale into the goal.
Sallai scored a second in the 70th minute with a perfect finish with the outside of his boot after Kalvin Phillips lost a tackle. Zsolt Nagy and Daniel Gazdag heaped humiliation on England with two late goals, while England defender Stones was sent off for two yellow cards.
Sportsmail's ADRIAN KAJUMBA rated the players.
ENGLAND (4-3-3)
AARON RAMSDALE 6
Got a touch on first two Hungary goals but was left exposed each time. Helpless too for third.
KYLE WALKER 4
Frustrated at full-back, ragged at centre-back summed up by being out of position for Hungary’s third.
JOHN STONES 3
Awful night. Poor header before opener, sloppy passing, second best against Szalai and sent off.
MARC GUEHI 6.5
Was on the front foot with his defending. One first-half intervention was especially crucial.
REECE JAMES 7
Did not look out of place as first-half left back. Even more threatening as second-half right wing back.
KALVIN PHILLIPS 6
Poor for Hungary’s second goal. Robbed of possession then beaten in challenge. Fine until then.
CONOR GALLAGHER 7.5
Produced an all-action display, contributing at both ends. Provided some much-needed intensity.
JUDE BELLINGHAM 7.5
Keen to take responsibility to try and make things happen. Showed his ability, energy and maturity.
JARROD BOWEN 6
Blew early headed chance. Worked hard but unable to make most of some good situations.
HARRY KANE 6
Dropped deep to link play well and hit bar with header but missed kick before Hungary opener.
BUKAYO SAKA 5
One dangerous cross aside, was not involved enough and little came off when ball did come his way.
SUBSTITUTES
Sterling 6 (for Bowen 46)
Mount 5 (for Gallagher 56)
Foden 5 (for Bellingham 68)
Maguire (for Saka 85)
Not used: Pickford, Pope, Trippier, Grealish, Coady, Ward-Prowse, Rice, Abraham.
MANAGER
GARETH SOUTHGATE 3
A shocker of a night to cap an international break to forget. Nothing went right.
HUNGARY (4-4-2)
Dibusz 7.5; Lang 7, Orban 7.5, Szalai 7.5, Z Nagy 8; Fiola 7, Schäfer 7, Styles 7 (A Nagy 56, 6), Szoboszlai 7.5 (Gazdag 56, 6); Sallai 8 (Nego 78), Szalai 8.5 (Adam 68, 7).
Referee: Clement Turpin (FRA) 6
No nonsense officiating but got the decision to show Stones a second yellow wrong.

Maguire's affect on the bench is more dangerous than his affect on the pitch☹️.he might be the cause behind this trashing

When hungry players go for a win in the tournament, they always end up winning.

A very useless and average coach. Southgate's profile cannot even guarantee him a spot in the EFL leave alone EPL. How he managed to convince FA for the job is magical. England will not even progress beyond group stages in the oncoming world cup.

I hope this was just a one off for John, maybe due to fatigue, and he'll bounce back for the next season.

England players have little pride and they don"t feel bad losing. All the players are paid millions by their clubs. This weekend they will be enjoying their holiday in some exotic destinations.

Sooner or later this would happen if continued under Southgate. Hope this is an early alarm before the world cup.

Here is my take: England has a lot of potential, really good players , unfortunately they have an average coach. Time to change coaches , get someone who can read the game.

I hope English pundits and media have learned something from this; ❌ Worst home defeat since 1928. ❌ Four games without a victory. ❌ Two consecutive defeats against Hungary.
