Overview
- Jude Bellingham was taken off for Morgan Rogers in the 84th minute after a yellow card and reacted with visible frustration.
- Thomas Tuchel said he would review the incident but insisted Bellingham must accept and respect his decisions and that selections will not change because of protests.
- Harry Kane’s late double secured a 2-0 win in Tirana as England completed eight wins from eight without conceding in Group K.
- Rogers’ introduction in Bellingham’s place underscored a live competition for the No.10 role during Bellingham’s first England start since June.
- Bellingham also drew online criticism for a halftime shirt swap, with the subplot likely to linger until the World Cup draw on December 5 and the squad’s March friendlies.
