England's Team Record Performances

Goals

Most Goals Scored in a Match and Largest Margin of Victory

England twice scored 13 goals against Ireland,  in the 13-0 victory on 18 February 1882 in Belfast and in the 13-2 win on 18 February 1899 in Sunderland.  The 13-0 victory also represents, of course, England's biggest ever margin of victory.  England's biggest  goal-scoring binges after the Second War were the pair of 10-0 victories against Portugal in Lisbon on 25 May 1947 and against the U.S.A. in New York City on 27 May 1964.

Most Goals Conceded in a Match and Largest Margin of Defeat

England gave up seven goals twice, against Scotland in the 7-2 defeat on 2 March 1878 in Glasgow and against Hungary in the 7-1 loss in Budapest on 23 May 1954.  The 7-1 loss to Hungary also represents England's biggest ever margin of defeat.

England once scored four goals and still lost the match, against Scotland at the first Hampden Park on 13 March 1880.  The year before Scotland had scored four and still lost to England, also 5-4, at the Kennington Oval.  England have scored three goals and lost four times, against Wales, 5-3, at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham on 13 March 1882, against Spain, 4-3, in Madrid, their first loss to a foreign side, against Hungary, 6-3, at Wembley Stadium on 25 November 1953, their first loss on home soil to a Continental European team, and against Austria, 4-3, in Vienna on 13 June 1979.

England have conceded four goals and still won the match on three occasions, all by 5-4, against Scotland at the Kennington Oval on 5 April 1879, against Scotland again at Hillsborough in Sheffield on 10 April 1920, and against Czechoslovakia at White Hart Lane on 1 December 1937.  They have won 12 matches in which they gave up three goals, the last the 4-3 victory over Denmark in Copenhagen in the European Championship qualifying match on 20 September 1978.

Most Goals Scored/Conceded in a Draw

The highest scoring England draw was 4-4, achieved twice, against the Rest of Europe at Wembley on 21 October 1953, and against Belgium in extra-time at the World Cup final tournament in Switzerland on 17 June 1954.  England have played six 3-3 draws, the last against Sweden at Elland Road in the Umbro Cup International Challenge Tournament match on 8 June 1995.
