Hungry win at the Molineux ensure England remain bottom and winless in the Nations League
Roland Salla goal in each half was all Hungary needed for their first victory in this fixture on English soil since the historic 6-3 win at Wembley in 1953.
Zsolt Nagy and Daniel Gazdag added a goal each to spark angry boos from the crowd.
The ignominy was underlined when John Stones was red carded late on - but by that stage defeat was already inevitable. It is a result that might not resonate down the ages quite as strongly as that 1953 defeat but it still spells huge problems for Gareth Southgate.
His team looked disjointed throughout and now face the possibility of relegation from the top tier of the Nations League. More worryingly, their form has deserted them in a World Cup year. These four fixtures have yielded no wins and just the one goal - a penalty.
But this was not just a failure in front of goal but a historic collapse - the biggest home defeat that England have suffered in 94 years.
