And they stormed into a 2-0 lead before half-time thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Noni Madueke.

But the game was briefly paused late in the first half after a laser pen was shone on to the pitch.

It appeared to take aim at Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, who started the match at centre-back.

The ace was seen recoiling while running with the ball, indicating that the laser had caught his eye.

Before that, Chelsea captain Reece James was targeted while taking a free-kick for the Three Lions.

Following the Konsa incident, referee Clement Turpin halted the match before running to the touchline for a briefing with his assistant.

After a few moments, the game resumed before a stadium-wide announcement was made in Serbian.

Fans were told to stop shining laser pens at the pitch.

They were also instructed to put away an anti-Kosovo flag from the stands.

But supporters were not happy with being told what to do and loudly jeered the announcement.

They also sang loud songs about Serbia's president Aleksandar Vucic - with none of them flattering.
