England made a winning start to 2022 with a come-from-behind 2-1 triumph over Switzerland at Wembley on Saturday evening.
Trailing to Breel Embolo's header, England turned the game on its head, thanks to goals from Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw and Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane either side of half-time. Kane's 78th-minute penalty clinched victory for Gareth Southgate's side, meaning they will be looking to make it nine games unbeaten in all settings when they face the Ivory Coast on Tuesday evening.
Southgate used the opportunity to blood new faces into the England team, with Kyle Walker-Peters of Southampton and Crystal Palace duo Marc Guehi and Tyrick Mitchell all winning their first caps. Experienced figures such as Jordan Pickford, Jordan Henderson and Mason Mount also featured, but there was no run out for United skipper Harry Maguire.
