"England produced a dominant display in Riga to seal a 5-0 win over Latvia and confirm their place at the 2026 World Cup. Thomas Tuchel's side controlled the match from the first whistle, outclassing their hosts in every department and showcasing the ruthless edge that has defined their qualifying campaign. The breakthrough came in the 26th minute when Anthony Gordon, who had been lively from the start, cut inside from the left and curled a low strike into the bottom corner for his second England goal."
"Tuchel took the opportunity to make several changes around the hour mark, introducing Eberechi Eze, Jarrod Bowen, and Jordan Henderson to manage minutes and keep the tempo high. Eze was rewarded four minutes from time when Bowen's clever pass found him on the left. The Arsenal playmaker cut inside and curled into the bottom corner - his second international goal, both coming against Latvia."
