Summary: England - Hungary 4: 0 (Sport 1)

The England team has not experienced such humiliation for a long time.

Not only did she snatch a 4-0 home game from Hungary, but after four games in the League of Nations campaign she is with just one right goal, two points on a balance of 12 possible and is in last place at home with Hungary, Germany and Italy, possibly down to relegation.

England had already surrendered to Hungary in the 1-0 opener of the campaign in Budapest, but it was hard for the English - and not only them - to believe that the three lions snatched a resounding quartet from the Hungarians in a game held at Wolves' Molino Stadium, losing three goals in the last 20 minutes. John Stones who was sent off.

Hungary became the first team to score four goals in an away game against England since ... Hungary in 1953 did so when they won 3: 6 at Wembley.

Moreover, if the embarrassment is not hard enough for the English, this is the first time in history that their team has lost at home by four goals without scoring.

The last time England lost four goals or more and scored was in 1928, when they were humiliated 5-1 by Scotland.

The Sun website says that "fans against Gareth Southgate following the worst home defeat since 1928", and indeed from the stands could be heard songs such as "You will be fired in the morning" towards the coach who led England to the Euro 2020 final and the 2018 World Cup semi-finals

Took responsibility for the heavy defeat and at the end said: "We have a young team, and when the game started badly it took us to bad places. I was responsible for that in the end. Too much free space and we were punished.I'm responsible for what happened to us in the four Nations League games - I tried to share new players and divide the minutes in light of the fatigue and strain the players suffer at the end of a season, but even so we have a team too strong to win at least two games against Hungary. "I completely understand the feeling of resentment tonight and ironically two campaigns in the League of Nations created pressure and took us to negative places. I am responsible for that."

While some commentators joined in the harsh criticism of Gareth Southgate (Gary Neville even called for him to be taken on a "temporary leave" until the World Cup), there were those who defended him.

, Who said: "It's really disappointing that there are those who doubt Gareth. Let's not forget where we were recently. Gareth has an important part in the upheaval we went through. He created one of the most successful teams we've had in the last 50 years. I know the fans are disappointed. The whole campaign Disappointing, and football has exceptional results from time to time, but it's important to always remember the big picture. It's the first slump I've experienced in the national team after five years. And just work on it so it doesn't happen again. "

Anger at the fans and their treatment of Southgate.

"'They really sang to him' you do not know what you're doing? 'Shut up, clowns," the commentator tweeted.

"This coach has taken our team to two of our best tournaments since 1966. The idea that Southgate is taking back the team is completely nonsensical, this staff is no better than what we had in previous decades. To be honest, Southgate's achievements are better than expected. The players. They need rest, and they will return to their normal level soon. "

The Hungarians, by the way, enjoyed stinging England after its fans whistled contemptuously while playing their anthem (in response to racist chants heard in Hungary's home game against England).

Roland Shalai, who scored a double in the game, celebrated the victory by defiantly waving the English Association flag.

Even Hungary coach Marco Rossi did not hesitate to state that "I was very surprised by England's weakness. Until this game, I thought it was one of the favorites to go all the way to the World Cup."
