John Stones also won a penalty late on for Harry Kane to convert to round out a resounding win for Gareth Southgate’s men.
Phil Foden and Jack Grealish made second half appearances as substitutes.
Manuel Akanji also got through a full 90 minutes for Switzerland in their 2-all draw with Romania in their European Championship qualifier.
Akanji has been one of City’s most reliable players all season, and he showed that in 90 minutes for the Swiss.
City’s English contingent and Manuel Akanji now all head of for some well-deserved rest. It’s been a long season for Manchester City’s stars and now they can all put their feet up.
