Goals from Barnabás Varga and Roland Sallai pushed Hungary to a 2-1 victory over fellow qualification rivals Serbia on Saturday evening.

Hungary moved three points clear at the Group G summit with a game in hand on second-placed Serbia, who they beat at the Puskás Aréna with Barnabás Varga firing the hosts in front after 20 minutes with a brilliant first-time finish.

Strahinja Pavlović equalised for the visitors in the 33rd minute, heading in Andrija Živković's corner, but Hungary struck what proved to be the decisive blow a minute later, Roland Sallai settling the contest with a stunning 25-metre volley into the top corner.
