England won their first game of the 2022 World Cup in emphatic fashion with a 6-2 victory against Iran. Two goals from Bukayo Saka and strikes from Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish secured the victory for Gareth Southgate's side.
Harry Maguire put in a superb performance in England's back four despite several calls for Southgate to leave him out of the starting XI. Having barely featured for Manchester United this season, and despite his performance, he may now miss England's next group-stage fixture.
Following Iran's Mehdi Taremi pulling a goal back, Maguire was seen sitting on the floor. The England medical staff performed the regulatory concussion checks on the 29-year-old before Eric Dier replaced him.
