All four of the wide players Gareth Southgate has handed World Cup starts to have scored. While this is great for England as it somewhat takes the burden of captain Harry Kane from needing to be the man banging in the goals, the decision over who now plays either side of the Tottenham striker in the last-16 is a lot harder.
Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling were the wide duo who began the Three Lions World Cup campaign and both were on the scoresheet in the 6-2 victory over Iran. However, just a few days later, their respective performances against the USMNT were not at the level shown against Iran, prompting Southgate to make changes for the final group stage match against Wales.
Marcus Rashford, who came off the bench and scored in the Iran victory, started on the left with Manchester City starlet Phil Foden on the right, although their positions were inter-changeable, and both certainly gave Southgate a selection headache.
