"And the 23-year-old was delighted to get off the mark for his country, noting how important it was given the competition for places in Thomas Tuchel's side. Asked where his first England goal ranks, Rogers told ITV: "Right at the top." "It's a proud moment to do it at home too, in a home nation derby. A dream come true. "The quality of players we have with people here and not here, you can never be too comfortable, or else people will take your role.""
""He is what he is," Tuchel told ITV. "He is a number 10, and he is competing for his place. He is in a good way. "We are ready for any team effort. Serbia was the next example of teamwork. We created a lot of chances. "We could use Harry [Kane] all the time, but we need to play without Harry and Jude [Bellingham] - the guys are injured. I think we played an excellent first half.""
Morgan Rogers scored England's quickest goal (2:10) in a 3-0 friendly win over Wales, marking his first international goal. Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka also scored, with England netting three goals inside the opening 20 minutes for the first time since November 1987. Rogers became the 34th different Aston Villa player to score for England, tying Manchester United for most different scorers from one club. Rogers described the goal as a proud moment and stressed the competition for places. Thomas Tuchel praised Rogers as a number 10 competing for his place and commended an excellent first-half team performance. Saka scored his 13th England goal and had the most shots despite just 0.1 xG; Rogers also hit the crossbar early in the second half.
