ENGLAND fans were left utterly confused following their side’s 7-0 win over North Macedonia on Monday evening.
Gareth Southgate’s men raced into a 3-0 half-time lead at Old Trafford thanks to goals from Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford.
After the break, two more from Saka completed the Arsenal man’s hat-trick.
Kane helped himself to a second from the penalty spot and Kalvin Phillips also got his name on the scoresheet.
As well as the stoppages for the four goals and spot kick, there were also 10 substitutions made in the second period.
Yet despite all of those breaks in play, referee Istvan Kovacs did not play ANY added time at the end of the 90 minutes.

It left Three Lions supporters baffled as they took to social media to comment on the rather bizarre decision.
One said: “I think we can all agree the biggest takeaway from England 7-0 North Macedonia was 0 minutes being added on after four goals, a penalty and ten substitutions.
“You’re not a charity, Uefa.”
Another added: “I actually rang in the radio once to ask about this, why do they only add on the exact minutes if the game is tight? What if I had a bet on 8-0?

“It’s mental how some rules are just ignored.”
A third replied: “They genuinely make it up. A game with one goal in it and you’re guaranteed 4 minutes or more added on.”
While a fourth jokingly responded: “I’m gonna be fuming If it goes down to goal difference.”
England’s win over North Macedonia maintains their 100 per cent record in their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
