Gareth Southgate told Marcus Rashford and his England teammates to take more shots at goal in the second half of their 3-0 World Cup win over Wales on Tuesday.
All three goals came after his half-time message, with Rashford netting a sumptuous free-kick before slamming home past goalkeeper Danny Ward on 68 minutes either side of fellow Mancunian Phil Foden’s first finals goal.
Manchester United striker Rashford had a first-half chance to fire past Ward when put through on goal but his dink couldn’t beat the Leicester shot-stopper’s outstretched arm. The attacker was told by his boss at the break to be less shy in firing in efforts during the second period.
