European Championship Qualifying: England Thrash Montenegro 5-1

England maintained the top spot position in Group A, staging a brilliant comeback to beat Montenegro 5-1 in Podgorica in he European Championship qualifying. 
Despite racist chants coming from the home, England resisited being emotional unstable and wiped off the opponents' lead early into the game, claiming the maximum points to lead their group by six points. 
After Marko Vesovic had opened the scoring in 17 minutes, curling the ball into the post from inside the area, Michael Keane headed in the equaliser from Ross Barkley's free-kick just on 30th minutes. 
Barkley deflected in Hudson-Odoi's shot to make it the second goal and later smashed home Raheem Sterling's cross from inside the box for England's third goal. 
Meanwhile, Montenegro came out strong earlier in the second half but could not get the ball in through Beqirai who came close to scoring. 
However, Sterling cut a pass through to Harry Kane following a fast break which the Tottenham Hotspur's forward smacked into the post for the fourth goal before Jordan Henderson's let a through pass to the Manchester City's star for a finish to complete the scoring. 
England manager Gareth Southgate have now led the team to winning five games in a row which is the national team's longest winning streak since October 2015 under Roy Hodgson.
