On Sunday, England maintained their flawless World Cup qualification record by defeating Andorra 4-0 at Wembley for the first time since their Euro 2020 final heartache.

Thousands had flocked to the stadium's approach in the days leading up to kick-off, but there was no replay of the frenetic atmosphere during the Euro 2020 final.

Outside the national stadium, which was invaded by ticketless supporters in July, there was a visible but low-key police presence, and there was a carnival mood inside.

Following the racist abuse they suffered after missing penalties in the Euro 2020 climax, a crowd banner with the slogan "Walk Tall" was raised in solidarity with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Saka.

And, only days after a number of England's black players were racially harassed in Budapest, the audience of almost 67,000 cheered when both teams took a knee before kick-off to condemn prejudice.
