England strolled to a comfortable 5-0 victory over San Marino to get their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign off to the perfect start at Wembley.
James Ward-Prowse bagged his first goal for his country to get things going before Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Raheem Sterling also netted before half-time.
Calvert-Lewin added his second shortly after the break and Ollie Watkins got a goal on his debut to round off a satisfactory evening.
Gareth Southgate's side are next in action in Group I against Albania on Sunday before taking on Poland on Wednesday.
Here are five things we learned from Thursday night's thrashing...
The good and bad of Calvert-Lewin
The Everton striker's hold up play and heading ability was as impressive as ever, and he was rewarded with a brace.
But the 24-year-old was also guilty of missing two clear cut opportunities, and should really have had a first-half hat-trick - something Harry Kane surely would have achieved if he were on the pitch.
While Calvert-Lewin will almost certainly, and deservedly, go to the Euros, his lack of a clinical edge means you question whether he will ever make the step up from a good forward to one of the very best around.
Lingard loving life
How heartwarming it is to see Jesse Lingard enjoying himself in England colours once more.
After a few years in the wilderness the attacking midfielder has looked to be getting back to his very best since joining West Ham on loan from Manchester United.
And he looked promising on his return to the national side, constantly threatening the San Marino defence and bringing back memories of his starring role in the 2018 World Cup campaign.
The only question will be how he didn't score, after having five shots on target.
If Lingard does manage to make it to the Euros it will be one of the most impressive comebacks in recent memory, and he is certainly giving Southgate plenty to think about with his recent performances.
Chilwell stakes a claim
Most people seem to have assumed that Luke Shaw will be England's first-choice left-back in the summer following his superb season for United.
But Ben Chilwell tonight showed that he is very much in contention for a place with a fine performance.
The Chelsea man created an assist to get England going and was a constant threat down the flank, repeatedly causing problems.
It would take something extraordinary for Chilwell to surpass Shaw given his remarkable upturn in form.
But the former Leicester player is certainly banging on the door, and will no doubt continue to do so in the coming weeks.
Southgate's landmark night
It may have been one of his more relaxing evenings as Three Lions boss.
But tonight saw Gareth Southgate pass a personal landmark as he became the first man to win over 50 England caps as a player and take charge of 50 games as manager.
He has his critics, but nobody could question Southgate's love for his country, nor how much it would mean for him to win something with his nation.
How much longer he remains in the hot seat remains to be seen, and may well depend on England's performance at the Euros this summer.
But for now he continues to live the dream of so many, and does so with pride and dignity.
Something has to change
While it is always nice to see England banging in the goals, tonight's matchup against officially the world's worst team was again so unbalanced that it felt more like a training drill at times.
The result was never in doubt even before we had kicked off, and for the integrity of sport that can never be a good thing.
Pre-qualifiers have been suggested in the past, and most seem in favour of the Nations League format.
But ultimately something has to change, because this was barely even a contest and was frankly a bit of an embarrassment from both teams' perspectives.
