13 shocking stats from England’s embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Hungary | OneFootball

England suffered an embarrassing 4-0 to Hungary in the UEFA Nations League on a night to forget for Gareth Southgate’s side.

The Three Lions had already lost 1-0 to Hungary earlier this month before drawing against Germany and Italy. They were expected to beat Hungary at home but a brace from Roland Sallai and late goals from Zsolt Nagy and Daniel Gazdag rooted England to the bottom of Group A3.

Southgate was greeted by boos and chants of, “you don’t know what you’re doing” and the players were booed off the pitch at Molineux.

“We picked a young team with energy and when the game started to go against them, it started to look that way. That’s my responsibility in the end,” Southgate told Channel 4 after the game.

“I said to the players, our four matches is my responsibility. I have to balance looking at new players, rest players. We couldn’t keep flogging out our experienced players.

“It was an important experience for lots of young players in these games. We’ve learned a lot in [the] Germany and Italy games. Hungary are a good side and we knew that. I gave them too much to do tonight.”

We’ve taken a look at 13 of the most shocking stats after the defeat.

– The 4-0 loss at the Molineux Stadium is England’s biggest home defeat since a 5-1 defeat to Scotland in March 1928.
