Comments:
England had now scored 42 goals in 2021; more than in any other year (previous record was 39 in 1908). Having already done so in 2019, Harry Kane had now again equalled the record for the most goals scored by a player for the Three Lions in a year (12); also by George Hilsdon in 1908 and Dixie Dean in 1927. England's starting XI had accumulated 451 caps prior to kick-off; the most for a Three Lions starting line-up since a FIFA World Cup qualifier in Ukraine on 10 September 2013 under manager Roy Hodgson (471). England named ten of a possible 12 substitutes.
