England are back in the top tier of the UEFA Nations League as interim manager Lee Carsley ends his short tenure with a superb 5-0 home victory against the Republic of Ireland.Thanks to the fantastic second-half performance, which saw the Three Lions score all five goals, England are promoted to Division A (where they really belong).Thomas Tuchel will have quite a decent starting position as the new England manager, since the team scored 16 goals in six previous games, and eight different players made their debuts.Ireland were knocked with a six-minute blitzkrieg between 53rd and 58th minute, when England scored three goals and added two more later, this time in the span of five minutes.Harry Kane opened the scoring from the spot before Gordon and Gallagher wrapped up the tie at Wembley.A few days ago, Greece were annilihated with 3-0, and it seemed like we were about to witness the replica of that game, but some other players eager to make a statement made sure the scoreboard gets some addition.Bowen and Harwood-Bellis killed the rival and assured both Tuchel and public that this team has bright future ahead of them.A bit further to the north, Norway destroyed Kazakhstan in the same manner, 5-0, on the wings of Erling Haaland’s hat-trick. The Manchester City striker scored a first-half brace to show the visitors this will be his night, while Sorloth and Nusa added their names to the scoresheet for this brutal win and the promotion to the highest division.Haaland hattrick hero replaced https://t.co/QtShA6cBfM pic.twitter.com/fkeBilVSAy— Christopher Hylland (@hyllnd) November 17, 2024 UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE – GROUP STAGEDivision AThursday Belgium – Italy 0-1 (0-1)/Tonali 11/France – Israel 0-0Friday Denmark – Spain 1-2 (0-1)/Isaksen 84 – Oyarzabal 15, Perez 58/Portugal – Poland 5-1 (0-0)/Leao 59, Cristiano 72 pen, 87, Bruno 80, Neto 83 – Marczuk 88/Scotland – Croatia 1-0 (0-0)/McGinn 86/Switzerland – Serbia 1-1 (0-0)/Amdouni 78 – Terzic 88/Saturday Germany – B&H 7-0 (3-0)/Musiala 2, Kleindienst 23, 79, Havertz 37, Wirtz 50, 57, Sane 66/Netherlands – Hungary 4-0 (2-0)/Weghorst 21 pen, Gakpo 45+12 pen, Dumfries 64, Koopmeiners 86/Sunday 22.45: (3.40) Italy (3.35) France (2.30)22.45: (6.00) Israel (4.10) Belgium (1.55)Division BThursday Kazakhstan – Austria 0-2 (0-2)/Baumgartner 15, Gregoritsch 25/Greece – England 0-3 (0-1)/Watkins 7, Vlachodimos 78 og, Jones 83/R.Ireland – Finland 1-0 (1-0)/Ferguson 45/Slovenia – Norway 1-4 (1-2)/Sesko 21 pen – Nusa 4, 59, Haaland 45, Hauge 82/Saturday Georgia – Ukraine 1-1 (0-1)/Mikautadze 76 – Kvirkvelia 7 og/Montenegro – Iceland 0-2 (0-0)/Oskarsson 74, Johanesson 89/Turkey – Wales 0-0Albania – Czech R. 0-0Sunday England – R.
