A MARK OF ROOSPECT

FROM BACK PAGE back and watch them now. England are in very safe hands from what I’ve seen this week.

“The way they are being coached is brilliant, it’s a great group of young players who have a bright future.

“They will go close to being the next team to bring a trophy back for England.”

Two goals in two first-half minutes from Jesse Lingard and Trent Alexander-Arnold sealed this friendly win ahead of Sunday’s Nations Cup tie at home to Croatia.

Lingard opened the scoring on 25 minutes with a curling effort from 18 yards.

Alexander-Arnold added the second – his first England goal – with an angled drive across Guzan.

Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson volleyed the third on his debut.
