After a disappointing 2-1 loss to France on Friday night at St James’ Park, England got their revenge to record their first win in France since 1973.
While three points against the Group A3 leaders boosts their hopes of qualifying automatically for Euro 2025, it does not change their league standings as they remain third in the table behind Sweden on goal difference, two points from the top.
For teams in League A, a top two finish guarantees direct qualification into Euro 2025, while finishing third or fourth takes them into the play-offs.
England will be eyeing a win next month over bottom of the group Republic of Ireland, who now cannot finish in the top two, before heading to Sweden for their final group match.
In Sweden, a win would guarantee England qualification for Euro 2025 in Switzerland, if they beat Ireland.
Meanwhile, a Sweden defeat by France next month could mean a draw is enough for England in Sweden, should goal difference move in their favour before the final matchday.
