Our Sports Correspondent Natalie Pirks is at wembley this was englands big night wasnt it, and they certainly lived up to the billing . Q a slightly odd reception forjoe gomez though tonight, they did, to be fair never expected them to do well against montenegro but 70, it them to do well against montenegro but 7 0, it was a Demolition Derby really. Montenegro look very helpless and we look at the pressure thatis helpless and we look at the pressure that is been put on that squad, of course im talking about with the incident which we will talk about later but the pressure put on them, they had to do a job and theres plenty of talk about whether southgate would have dropped Raheem Sterling, and would have been dropped, that is something that we may never know but it did not look like they needed him to nate and harry kane, he has become the sixth top goal store or of all time, he has gotten past allen share with the hetrick 5 0 up hetrick. Home goal to put it 6 0 up and indeed, he knows the squad and they are not a finished product but it is been very exciting and this is englands youngest side in 60 years, so really quite specialfor youngest side in 60 years, so really quite special for those players, fresh off of the ones who scored their first fresh off of the ones who scored theirfirst goalfor fresh off of the ones who scored their first goal for england. His special night all around that england has played with a host of legends to watch them do it as well and qualifications easy with one game to spare before they go on sunday. A slightly odd reception forjoe gomez though tonight, after everything that happened with Raheem Sterling earlier in the week . It was horrible to hear, to be honest was that 50 of the cloud so it was by no small means of them doing joe gomez, it was inexplicable to see and to hear that. Raheem sterling has tweeted in the last few minutes, let us have a look. It is ha rd minutes, let us have a look. It is hard for me to see my tea made boot for something that was my fault. And this week was the first time we have seen fault lines appear, the big hallmark of southgates tenure has been that they have been completely together, they have been with cloud rivalries, largely separated and these players have really been together. It has been such a big story but obviously, he is trying to essentially say look, we need to move on now and undoubtedly they will. Again, topping the group, means england will play all of their group games in the euros rate here at wembley and the final is here as well. So it could be a very special summer well. So it could be a very special summerfor well. So it could be a very special summer for england if they can appear united once more.
