England 5 – 0 Ireland
Jordan Pickford is in goal for Lee Carsley’s final England game in charge as he tries to ensure a top place finish and promotion from Nations League Group B2 at Wembley tonight against Ireland.
No Seamus Coleman for the Republic as he is out injured, while Everton’s hardly used centre-back, Jake O’Brien, is one of 12 players on the subs bench.
After a typically moribund first half, the card-happy referee reduced Ireland to 10 men and England went on to score 5 goals and surely make that top place finish secure.
Congratulations to Lee Carsley for a job well done.
