Gareth Southgate told the England squad to “enjoy” their perfect start to their World Cup campaign as they thumped Iran in their group opener.
The Three Lions found themselves 3-0 up at the break in Doha after goals from Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling. They continued adding to their advantage after the restart through Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish - the only blots on their copy book being a brace from Porto forward Mehdi Taremi.
Regardless, it was still an excellent start to the group for England, who will head into Friday’s clash with United States in confident form.
