They beat the Israelis 2-0 thanks to goals from Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon and Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe.
The win saw them top their group in the European Championship and as a result qualify for the quarter finals of the competition.

One particular pass has gone viral where he produced a stunning defense splitting through ball from almost the half way line for Madueke who failed to make the most of it.
Liverpool fans were left in awe with the quality of the pass with many claiming that he has been benefiting from training with Thiago Alcantara.
