After half-time, a neat close-angle finish from Mead took the score to 5-0, before Toone finished his hat trick at close range and substitute Daly tapped in the seventh a few yards away. After scoring a hat-trick at Wembley on Saturday, Mead’s goal was his fifth in England’s last four games, and Arsenal teammate Williamson shot in the eighth from the edge of the box, before Georgia’s low end Stanway and Daly’s second end inside the area.

The resounding result brought a happy birthday to Wiegman, 52, who praised his team’s work ethic, recounting Sport Telegraph: “They make an effort, that’s what I’ve seen every moment, they give everything, which is not easy.

“The weather was really bad, the pitch was not very good and yet we did everything we could to reach a high level – all the time we show that we want to improve. Hopefully against Austria [next up, in November] it will be more of a game. “
