England\u2019s young stars shined on Tuesday night as they beat Scotland 3-1 in a competitive friendly at a raucous Hampden Park.<\/p>\n

A quick-fire double from Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham put the Three Lions in control, and though a Harry Maguire own goal made things interesting, Harry Kane put the game to bed late on.<\/p>\n

The home nations were playing a friendly to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first ever international game of football.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere was hardly \u2018friendly\u2019 however, with the old rivals making an energetic start though clear cut chances were hard to come by.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until the 32nd minute when we had the first shot on target and goal, when Foden turned home Kyle Walker\u2019s powerful cross from close range following some nice build-up play.<\/p>\n

The Manchester City attacking midfielder turned on the style as he looked to stake his claim in Gareth Southgate\u2019s starting XI, and just minutes later his delightful cross was mis-controlled by Andy Robertson.<\/p>\n

The Scotland skipper gifted the ball to Bellingham who fired home to give England a deserved lead before the break.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From there, the visitors were in near-complete control, until the 67th minute when Robertson\u2019s cross was turned into Aaron Ramsdale\u2019s net by the unfortunate Maguire who had come on at half-time.<\/p>\n

John McGinn wasted a brilliant chance to equalise just minutes later when he shouldered the ball over from just a few yards out.<\/p>\n

England too spawned several chances to seal the victory, with Eberechi Eze firing straight at Angus Gunn after a brilliant touch put him one-on-one with the keeper, while Bellingham also had an effort saved.<\/p>\n

Eventually, it was captain Kane who settled the match, slotting in his country\u2019s final goal of the night with the assist coming from Real Madrid star Bellingham.<\/p>\n

In a doubly disappointing night for the Tartan Army, they missed a chance to qualify for Euro 2024 after Norway\u2019s game against Georgia didn\u2019t end in a draw, with Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard scoring in Oslo to keep their country\u2019s qualification hopes alive.<\/p>\n

Reaching next summer\u2019s finals in Germany seems inevitable for both Scotland and England though, with the two home nations top of their qualifying groupsand unbeaten after five games.<\/p>\n
