Tuchel's England Thump Woeful Wales in Friendly
Morgan Rogers scored early to help England dominate Wales 3-0 at Wembley, with manager Thomas Tuchel emphasizing merit-based selection for the 2026 World Cup squad.
- England secured a 3-0 win over Wales in a friendly at Wembley Stadium on Thursday night, with Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka each finding the net.
- England capitalised on the absence of injured captain Harry Kane, who picked up an ankle injury for Bayern Munich at the weekend, by fielding Watkins in his place.
- The scoreline was set early, as Rogers found the net after three minutes, Watkins doubled the lead, and Saka added a third before the mid-point of the first half.
- Karl Darlow, Wales's goalkeeper and ex-Newcastle United player, conceded three first-half goals and faced 11 shots before being substituted at halftime, with pundit Stephen Warnock saying, "There is no point in Karl Darlow diving."
- England extended their unbeaten streak against Wales and, having now scored in 17 consecutive matches, will next face Latvia away on Tuesday as they target group qualification.
