  • The win marks their fifth consecutive triumph without conceding a goal, placing the defending champions two points clear with a game in hand.
  • Stoke's on-loan Manchester City striker Divin Mubama was instrumental, netting twice to take his international tally to five goals in as many games.
  • Further goals were scored by Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri and Fulham's Josh King, who found the net just five minutes after coming on as a substitute.
  • Lee Carsley's side are now in a strong position to qualify for the 2027 European Championship, which will be hosted by Albania and Serbia.
