The oldest international rivalry was decided by the youngest player on the pitch. As Scotland and England marked 150 years since they first met, it was scarcely surprising the dominant figure was a man who has been alive for barely 20 of them.

Bellingham played a part – two, really – in England’s first goal. He scored their second. He made their third for Harry Kane in wonderful fashion. A booking for a bust-up with Jack Hendry – it may be termed a bit of a stramash in these parts – was a sign of his competitive instincts.

Former Scotland midfielder Graeme Souness was unhapp his nation failed to show the level of determination and effort the magnitude of the encounter against England demanded.

Speaking on Channel 4 after the Three Lions triumphed 3-1, Souness noted that while the Scots have undoubtedly improved under Steve Clarke, they’ve been shown just how great the distance between themselves and the top nations remains by the ease in which England won.

Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane scored for the visitors, with the hosts unable to create much in the way of attacking chances, with Harry Maguire’s own goal their only consolation.

England earned their 600th victory in all competitions, becoming the first European nation to reach this milestone in international football.

Norway held on against Georgia to win 2-1 in Oslo in their European qualifier. That means that Scotland haven’t qualified for Euro 2024 tonight though they will have a chance to do so on October 12.

If they beat Spain in Seville they’ll secure their spot at the Euros next year.

Aaron Ramsdale didn’t have a save to make tonight and still conceded a goal thanks to Harry Maguire’s own goal. It will be an annoying thing for the Arsenal goalkeeper who is looking to displace Jordan Pickford as England’s No. 1.

Scotland hosted England in a 150th anniversary of their first-ever meeting; this time around it was the Three Lions who triumphed with a routine and comprehensive 3-1 victory.

Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham scored within minutes of each other in the first half, before Harry Maguire turned into his own net to close the gap past the hour mark.

Harry Kane wrapped up matters though as England took the bragging rights.

Here are the player ratings from Hampden Park:

Jude Bellingham is the first England player to both score and assist a goal in a match against Scotland since Kevin Keegan in May 1979.

90+3 mins: There’s the full-time whistle! England win the 150th anniversary match against Scotland. Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham did the damage over three minutes in the first time before a mistake from Harry Maguire afforded Scotland a lifeline.

Harry Kane had other ideas though and restored England’s cushion to ensure they comfortably saw out the game.

90 mins: Three minutes of added time to play at the end of this game.

87 mins: Ryan Jack and Nathan Patterson come on for Scotland with Aaron Hickey and Callum McGregor heading off. Only a few minutes left to play at Hampden Park.

The spark has gone from the game now.
