"Kane was withdrawn along with Morgan Rogers, who was selected to start at No. 10. In their place went Foden as a false nine with Bellingham in behind. Eberechi Eze replaced Marcus Rashford on the left flank while midfielder Jordan Henderson was introduced for Declan Rice, allowing Elliot Anderson to push on and affect the game more in the final third."
"The end result was England's best football of the night. With three minutes left, Bellingham fed Foden, whose lovely flick found Eze. The Arsenal winger's effort rebounded off the crossbar, but three minutes later, the trio would not be denied. Bellingham drove forward and found Foden who in turn played a perfectly-weighted pass in front of Eze. This time, his first-time effort curled unerringly into the top corner."
Thomas Tuchel declared that Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden could not all play effectively together. England started in a 4-2-3-1 with Bukayo Saka scoring a first-half volley to lead 1-0. Tuchel made four substitutions late: Kane and Morgan Rogers were withdrawn, Phil Foden moved to a false nine with Bellingham behind him, Eberechi Eze replaced Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson came on for Declan Rice, allowing Elliot Anderson to push higher. The new configuration produced England's best football, culminating in a slick move in which Bellingham fed Foden and Eze finished into the top corner for 2-0. Serbia tired while chasing a goal.
