England take all three points at the Arena AufSchalke, winning their second-consecutive opening game at the Euros thanks to a 1-0 win, this time beating Serbia with Bellingham’s first-half header.
Southgate’s side started imperiously, with their opponents struggling to win the ball back, and made the most of their early momentum, scoring with their first shot of the match through Bellingham.
The Three Lions managed the rest of the period well to enter the interval with the lead but came out from the restart somewhat lax, allowing Stojkovic’s team back into the contest.
Chances for Jovic and Vlahovic went untaken for the Eagles, while Rajkovic’s impressive save onto the crossbar from a Kane header ensured the deficit stayed at one.
England win with an expected goals of 0.54 - compared to Serbia’s 0.17 - and take first place in Group C, ahead of a meeting with Denmark on June 20.
Stojkovic’s side also have four days to prepare for their next contest, when they take on Slovenia.
After the completion of the match, England and Real Madrid Midfielder, Jude Bellingham was named the man of the match after his outstanding performance against Serbia.
The 20-year-old played for 86 minutes, completed 96 pass accuracy, had one shot at goal and netted the winner that secured all three points.
