England played at home, but in the fourth round of A3 Nations League on June 14th, England lost badly to Hungary.

* Scores: Sallai 16 ', 70', Nagy 80 ', Gazdag 69'.

The Three Lions have lost at least four goals at home for the first time since March 1928, when they lost 5-1 to Scotland. He also lost at home by at least four goals for the first time in history.

Hungary, meanwhile, became the first team to score four goals away to England since their 6-3 win at Wembley in November 1953. It was also Hungary's second win in 12 away games against England.

Compared with the 0-0 draw with Italy a few days ago, coach Southgate replaced nine positions, leaving only goalkeeper Ramsdale and defender Reese James. The likes of Kyle Walker, Calvin Phillips, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka or Harry Kane all returned to Molineux's starting line-up on June 14.

The hosts got their first chance with a close-range header from Jarrod Bowen, but Hungary opened the scoring. In the 16th minute, the ball reached Roland Salai's position after a dispute in the air. He catches a beat and then volleys into the corner close to Ramsdale. As a result, Saleh became the first visiting team player to rip an England goal at two different stadiums (Wembley and Molineux), following Hakamir of Sweden at Elland Road in 1995 and at Old Trafford in 2001. Hungary missed an opportunity to extend their lead in the 27th minute when Dominic Zoboshley's free-kick was saved by Reece James in front of the goal line.

Before the game, Southgate praised the spirit of the players. However, they were unable to get up after an equaliser in a stalemate, mainly tucking the ball into the Hungarian box. He has 60 percent possession but has only hit four times in this game. The best chance they created was when Kane's header hit the crossbar in the 77th minute.

Martin Adam poked an open spot seven minutes earlier to allow Salai to burst into the box before completing the corner to double the lead. He conceded two goals at home for the first time since beating Kosovo 5-3 in September 2019. But the ending this time is far more tragic for Southgate's teachers and students.

In the 80th minute, Adam threw the ball to Zsaltnagy, continued to assist, took off from the second line, and fired the cannon into the near corner. John Stones had to play empty two minutes later when he received a second yellow card for a cold strike. His nightmare ended in the 89th minute when Daniel Gazdag crossed a corner to beat Ramsdale.

In Group A4, Belgium beat Poland with Bashuayi's only goal. In the other game, Holland defeated Wales 3-2 and continued to top the list with 10 points. Followed by Belgium, Poland and Wales, with 7 points, 4 points and 1 point respectively.
