You always start to worry if there’s not an early goal against San Marino, but it’s always going to be about patience and the gaps will appear as the game goes on.
You can see tonight against England that their game plan doesn’t really involve trying to attack, and it was left to Ben Chilwell to make a deep run and pick out James Ward-Prowse for the opener:
GOAALLL!
It had been coming.
Nice interplay down the left and Ward-Prowse slots home the cross for his first @England goal

It’s a goal that won’t get a lot of credit because of the opposition, but it’s a nice piece of play and you would expect a few more to follow.
