"Lee Carsley's first match in charge of the England senior side finished in victory on Saturday, with the Three Lions beating Ireland 2-0 in their 2024/25 UEFA Nations League opener."
"Declan Rice and Jack Grealish, who were booed incessantly having represented Ireland at senior and youth level respectively, scored the decisive goals in the first half to secure a comfortable victory."
"England grabbed the first goal of Carsley's reign after just 11 minutes and it was the unpopular Rice who provided it."
"Rice was at the heart of a beautiful one-touch move that sliced Ireland open and the scorer of England's opener turned provider, pulling back for Grealish to sweep into the far corner."
