Roy Keane and Gary Neville clashed over the importance of team spirit within the England camp while assessing their World Cup chances.
The Three Lions demolished Iran 6-2 in their opening encounter on Monday with five different goal scorers. Bukayo Saka netted twice for Gareth Southgate’s side but Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish – the latter two came on as substitutes – were also on target.
Not only was it encouraging from an England point of view to secure an impressive opening day victory but to do so with so many of the squad playing an influential role would have been particularly pleasing for Southgate.
