Who scored for Hungary against England?

According to the reports in the Mirror and Sky Sports, Gareth Southgate explained that the result gotten against Hungary was not expected.

Gareth Southgate's reaction on defeat to Hungary

"In the end, this is about winning matches with England. It was the sort of night that a lot of my predecessors have had and experienced, and it’s difficult.
"I’m not going to say it doesn’t hurt, but it’s very clear to me what we were trying to do across the four matches, and the irony is that the two Nations League campaigns have been the ones that have heaped negativity and pressure onto us. I’ve got to go with that and it’s my job to protect the players. The results are my responsibility."

10 man England thrashed by Hungary in heaviest home defeat since 1928

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Gareth Southgate’s England hit a new low on Tuesday, June 14 as they were thrashed 4-0 by a resurgent Hungary at the Molineaux.

The Three Lions’ dismal campaign in the Nations League went on as they have now gone four games without a win, and defeat to Hungary only piled more pressure on Southgate.

Roland Sallai was Hungary’s hero on the day as he opened the scoring with a smart finish at the back post before doubling his nation’s lead in the 70th minute.

Hungary were not done, as Zsolt Nagy got a goal from close range, and England’s evening went from bad to worse after John Stones was shown a second yellow card minutes later.
