Overview
- Bukayo Saka opened the scoring and Eberechi Eze sealed a 2-0 victory at Wembley to keep qualifying at seven wins from seven with 20 goals scored and none conceded.
- Phil Foden came on as a false nine with Jude Bellingham behind him, and their interplay created Eze’s late strike in a glimpse of an alternative attacking setup.
- Thomas Tuchel reiterated that Harry Kane, Bellingham and Foden are unlikely to function together in his preferred shape, using Foden as a potential understudy option up front.
- Tuchel explained that Morgan Rogers started at No. 10 over Bellingham due to familiarity with England’s pressing scheme, then lamented second-half pressing lapses that tested the back four.
- Ezri Konsa highlighted a growing emphasis on set-pieces influenced by club trends, while debutant Nico O’Reilly drew praise for a composed display at left-back.
