England cruise to 3-0 friendly victory over Wales

England scored all three goals in the first half, including a long-range strike by Bukayo Saka, maintaining a strong winning streak under coach Thomas Tuchel.

  • On Thursday at Wembley, England cruised to a 3-0 friendly win with all three goals scored in the first half, with Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka finding the net.
  • Thomas Tuchel kept faith with the Belgrade squad, leaving out Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden, building on last month's 5-0 Serbia rout for a second dominant display.
  • Saka's stunner, described as a long-range rocket, was a sublime finish past Wales goalkeeper Karl Darlow from 55 yards, before Watkins injured himself crashing into the post.
  • England's result further cements their place at next year's World Cup after five successive Group K wins, and a trip to Latvia on Tuesday could secure early qualification.
  • Wales can take heart from an improved second-half display as Craig Bellamy, Wales manager, prepares the team for Monday's crucial World Cup qualifier against Belgium.
