"Then we couldn't score the fourth one or the fifth one and the stadium was silent. Silent! We never got any energy back from the fans and I think the players delivered a lot to get more from the fans. It was difficult to keep everything going in the second half, but we did excellent and deserved to win. A step in the right direction."
"England scored three goals inside the opening 20 minutes of a match for the first time since November 1987 against Yugoslavia, with Morgan Rogers getting them off the mark. Indeed, Rogers' opener, timed at two minutes and 12 seconds, was England's earliest goal since Luke Shaw netted in the second minute against Italy in the Euro 2020 final. Ollie Watkins then doubled the Three Lions' lead before Arsenal star Bukayo Saka sent a stunning effort into the top-left corner to conclude the scoring for the hosts."
England beat Wales 3-0 at Wembley, scoring three goals inside the opening 20 minutes for the first time since November 1987. Morgan Rogers opened the scoring at two minutes and 12 seconds, England's earliest goal since Luke Shaw's Euro 2020 strike. Ollie Watkins doubled the lead and Bukayo Saka added a top-corner finish. Thomas Tuchel praised the performance but criticised the home crowd for being silent after the fast start, saying the players had delivered and deserved more energy from fans. Tuchel has won six of his first seven England matches, with only a friendly loss to Senegal blemishing his record.
