While Kane netted his record-extending 74th England goal, Noni Madueke, Ezri Konsa and Marc Guehi all scored their first senior international goals in an emphatic win.
England have a maximum 15 points from five games and could even seal automatic qualification as group winners next month.
Criticized for a labored 2-0 home defeat of Andorra on Saturday, England produced their best performance under head coach Thomas Tuchel to punish a timid Serbia display. England had not lost in Belgrade since 1958 and from the moment Kane headed them in front from Declan Rice’s corner in the 33rd minute they never looked in danger of dropping points.
