Eberechi Eze
That’s what happens when you run at defenders!
Eberechi Eze has looked lively since he came on and now the Crystal Palace man has his first England goal.
He twists and turns inside the box before going for goal. His attempt takes a big deflection off Antonijs Cernomordijs on its way into the net.

Roy Keane is at Wembley as part of ITV’s coverage and
says that was a C+ performance by England.
“There’s lots more to come from them. It was OK.”
