As was largely expected, England proved to be too good for Wales in their World Cup group stage clash.
Rob Page's side came into the game with their near neighbours at Doha's Ahmad bin Ali Stadium needing something of a miracle after their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Iran last time out, and although they stood up to Gareth Southgate's men in the first half they were ultimately well beaten.
England were well below-par in what was a largely event-free first half, but after the break they ran away with it to leave a tired looking Wales side eliminated.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for Southgate's side with a fine free-kick which Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward will probably feel that he should have done better with.
Moments later, Harry Kane put a second England goal on a plate for Phil Foden when, after Ben Davies had given the ball away, Davies' Tottenham teammate Kane played a superb low cross to the back post for the Manchester City star - a player many England fans had been clamouring to see - to tap in.
Two would soon become three as a ragged Wales were slow to react to more England danger, which ended with Rashford blasting home a shot through the legs of a downhearted Ward.
Wales were beaten all ends up, but they weren't helped with injuries to a couple of their key players.
Captain Gareth Bale was unable to return for the second half as he felt the effects of playing three games in one week, while before that full-back Neco Williams was also forced to leave the field having been diagnosed with a concussion.
Nottingham Forest's Williams took a Rashford free-kick full on the top of the head in the first half, leaving him dazed.
He did continue to begin with though, and it was during this period that his attempted burst forward to get Wales up the pitch was stopped by a challenge from his former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, who had been drafted into the team by Gareth Southgate.
Henderson, following the challenge on Williams, ended up in something of a heap on top of the right-back, and it was then that he appeared to spot that something was wrong with the Wales man.
The midfielder stood over Williams for several seconds to check on him, embracing him and looking towards the Wales bench.
It wasn't long after that moment that Wales decided that Williams couldn't continue in the match, and he was replaced by the Burnley full-back Connor Roberts as the Welsh were given an extra concussion substitute.
England's burst of three goals in 18 second half minutes would ultimately take the game away from Page's side, with the Three Lions confirmed as Group B winners and Wales heading home.
Southgate's side will now face Senegal in the last-16.
