A proper goal parade tonight in the UEFA Nations League. Seven goals at Borussia Park, five at De Kuip, four at Molineux – not in the way you would expect but nevertheless quite an evening of international football.Germany stretched their unbeaten run to 13 games since their loss to England at Euro 2020, with a resounding 5-2 win against an abject Italian outfit.A frenetic opening 10 minutes saw both sides swarm forward but ultimately proved sloppy in possession in the final third. Just mere moments after Manuel Neuer’s marvellous reaction save prevented Giacomo Raspadori, Germany took the lead. David Raum’s whipped-in delivery from the left was cushioned down by Joshua Kimmich eight yards from goal before the Bayern Munich midfielder comfortably finished low for the opener.Pre-match, Italy were without a win in their previous five meetings with Germany and their hopes of changing this feat were severely dashed when in first-half injury time, Spurs linked, Alessandro Bastoni brought down Timo Werner in the box and İlkay Gündoğan despatched the penalty down the middle with ease.Italy came out for the second period with added impetus, presumably provided by boss Roberto Mancini, and had a dangerous five-minute spell before Germany added a third through substitute Thomas Müller on 51 minutes.The nine changes Mancini made from Italy’s 0-0 draw with England proved a tinkering too far as the European Champions lacked any sense of cohesion and on 67 minutes, Germany had a fourth. Serge Gnabry was found at the back post and the winger laid it across to Werner to tap in. Just one minute later, Gianluigi Donnarumma’s woeful attempt at playing out from the back sent the ball straight to Gnabry who found Werner again to make it five. Wilfried Gnonto and Alessandro Bastoni added some late consolation but it wasn’t enough to spoil the party of Hansi Flick’s first win as Germany boss against elite opposition.Elsewhere, England was left glued to the bottom of Group A3 and suffered their worst home defeat since 1928 following an emphatic 4-0 win for Hungary at Molineux.Gareth Southgate made nine changes to the side that drew with Italy on Saturday, and they seemed reinvigorated by the alterations with 73% of possession, but that did not stop Hungary from compounding more misery on England after taking a surprise lead. Dominik Szoboszlai’s innocuous-looking free kick drifted into the box, and was flicked on by Ádám Lang into the path of Roland Sallai, who took a touch and blasted the ball past Aaron Ramsdale. It was his second goal against the Three Lions, after finding the net in the two teams’ encounter in October. Szoboszlai’s set-pieces continued to be a threat, and Reece James reacted brilliantly to make a superb headed clearance off the line.Southgate’s men increased the intensity after the restart, without finding the necessary cutting edge. James was unlucky not to pick out Harry Kane with a searching cross, before the England skipper turned provider for Saka, whose shot comfortably cleared the bar. A bleak evening became a lot worse for England thanks to another Hungary goal against the run of play. Martin Ádám shrugged Kalvin Phillips off the ball and played in Sallai to clinically fire home past Ramsdale. The Three Lions were looking to Kane for inspiration, and he came within inches of getting his 51st England goal as his header clipped the bar from Mason Mount’s cross.There was still time to add further salt to England’s gaping wounds, with Ádám teeing up Zsolt Nagy to add a third goal with 10 minutes of normal time remaining. John Stones was then left to bemoan one of the harshest second yellow cards you could ever wish to see, with the Manchester City defender sent off after Dániel Gazdag seemingly ran into him. Gazdag then made it four in the closing stages with the deftest of finishes.A chant of “you don’t know what you’re doing” in the closing stages may be a tad harsh on Southgate, but summed up the frustration inside Molineux as England went four matches without a victory for the first time during his tenure.Close by, the Netherlands’ 100% record against Wales continued in the most dramatic fashion in Rotterdam, as the Oranje cemented their place at the top of Nations League Group A4, completing the double with a 3-2 win over their relegation-threatened opponents.The final minutes brought drama with Gareth Bale’s penalty leveling the score only for Memphis Depay to keep all three points at home with a late decisive goal.Belgium kept their composure against Robert Lewandowski’s Poland after scoring early in the match, courtesy of Mitchy Batchuayi.UEFA NATIONS LEAGUELEAGUE ATuesdayEngland – Hungary 0-4 (0-1)/Sallai 16, 70, Nagy 80, Gazdag 89/Germany – Italy 5-2 (2-0)/Kimmich 10, Gundogan 45+4, Muller 51, Werner 68, 69 – Gnonto 78, Bastoni 90+4/Netherlands – Wales 3-2 (2-1)/Lang 17, Gakpo 23, Depay 90+3 – Johnson 26, Bale 90+2 pen/Poland – Belgium 0-1 (0-1)/Batshuayi 16/©FlashScore
