LONDON (AP) — Harry Kane scored a first-half hat trick as England secured qualification for the 2020 European Championship with a 7-0 victory over Montenegro on Thursday in the team’s 1,000th game.

On a landmark night that saw England field its youngest starting lineup in 60 years, the 22-year-old Tammy Abraham came off the bench to open his account for England by completing the rout.

England will be back at Wembley during the championship next year. Three group-stage games will be played at the national stadium, which is one of 12 venues being used by UEFA in 12 cities across Europe.
