ENGLAND STAT ATTACK

LEWIS STEELE ON ALL THE KEY NUMBERS, TACTICS AND RECORDS BROKEN AS ENGLAND THRASH IRAN

GARETH SOUTHGATE now has more wins at a tournament than any England boss...

THIS was England’s second-biggest World Cup win, after the 6-1 v Panama in 2018. It’s their best opening-game win at the tournament.

JOHN STONES completed more passes (116) than any English player in a World Cup game since 1966. He made more passes in the first half than the entire Iran team combined, with 70 to their 46!
