"When Thomas Tuchel introduced a selection of substitutes that was a graphic illustration of the formidable strength in depth at England's disposal, one crucial component of his World Cup plans remained untouched. Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Eberechi Eze were brought on as head coach Tuchel's "finishers" after 65 minutes, helping to secure the victory against Serbia that maintained England's unblemished seven-match winning run in their qualification campaign."
"Eze duly obliged with a spectacular strike to confirm the 2-0 win - but it was Arsenal team-mate Bukayo Saka who stayed the course for the whole game, with a spectacular opening goal to set them on their way. At a time when, with England's World Cup place assured, scrutiny is on the battle between Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers and Real Madrid superstar Bellingham for the number 10 role - Tuchel has no such worries about 24-year-old Saka."
Thomas Tuchel used substitutes Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Eberechi Eze as finishers after 65 minutes, with Eze scoring a spectacular strike to confirm a 2-0 win over Serbia and maintain England's seven-match qualifying winning run. Bukayo Saka played the full game and opened the scoring with a spectacular goal. Saka has 14 goals in 47 England appearances since his October 2020 debut and is Arsenal's record England goalscorer, having overtaken Cliff Bastin. Only injury can prevent him starting England's first World Cup match, and he is a proven, game-changing influence alongside Harry Kane. Kane has 76 goals in 111 and contributed energetic, combative play.
