It was night to forget in the UEFA Nations League for Italy and England after both nations were taught some footballing lessons by Germany and Hungary.

England suffered their heaviest defeat in almost a century after a stunning performance from visitors Hungary.

A Rolland Sallai inspired Hungary came, saw and conquered the Three Lions 4-0 at the Molineux Stadium on Tuesday night.

Sallai netted a goal in each half, while Zsolt Nagy and Daniel Gazdag added two late goals to complete the shocking and historic win.

The defeat means England conceded four goals  for the first time since 1963 against Hungary and remains winless after four matches in the Nations League.

England also registered their heaviest defeat on home soil since 1928.

But the night belonged to the Germans, who hit Italy for five following a 5-2 victory for Hansi Flick's men.

Goals from Joshua Kimmich, Ilkay Gundogan handed Germany a 2-0 lead at the break. 

Thomas Muller made it 3-0 six minutes after the break before two goals from Timo Werner in the space of a minute gave Germany a comfortable 5-0 lead.

Italy did pull two goals back, 18-year-old winger Degnand Wilfred Gnonto reduced the deficit in the 78th minute before Alessandro Bastoni scored the second goal in added time to make the scoreline more respectable.
