Thanks for joining me here on Tribe as England regained control of their Nations League group with a ruthless win over Greece this evening; I hope you’ve enjoyed our coverage; I’ve been Rory Morrow and I look forward to seeing you again soon for another live text commentary!
Up Next - Both sides conclude their Nations League campaign on Sunday with Greece travelling to Finland and England hosting the Republic of Ireland at Wembley. An England win, by any score, will see them top the group.
England had a job to do tonight and can come away satisfied at the outcome. Three points, three goals and their Nations League destiny back in their own control with one match to go. The big call from Carsley, Watkins in for Kane from the start, paid off with Watkins opening the scoring seven minutes in. Bellingham's dominant display in midfield proved crucial as he helped set up goals two and three. Pickford was a calming, authoritative figure in goal while Jones marked a fine debut with a fantastic finish late on.
Greece, who could still win the group if England slip up on Sunday, see their unbeaten Nations League campaign come to an end tonight. Trailing from the seventh minute, they gave England plenty of scares with Pickford saving superbly from Tsimikas and Ionannidis. Before England's second goal, the pressure was really building up but that took the wind out of Greece's sails with England ruthlessly killing the game in the closing stages. Not a bad performance, at all, from Greece but certainly not the result they would have wanted.
ENGLAND REGAIN CONTROL IN THE NATIONS LEAGUE - A professional performance from England, who regain control of their Nations League campaign with a fine win over Greece. This result means that a win, by any score, against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday will see England crowned as group winners. Lee Carsley's side did the business tonight as goals from Watkins and Jones, either side of an own goal from Greece goalkeeper, Vlachodimos, earns them three, much-needed points. Pickford excelled at times, keeping England ahead and The Three Lions atone for defeat by Greece last month with a convincing win this time around.
90+4'
Hall, on the left of halfway, nicely slips in Bellingham. He tries to slide in the run of Rogers down the left but overhits the pass.
90+2'
SAVE - Pickford preserves his clean sheet! Giannoulis dribbles down the left, feeding fellow substitute, Mantalos. From twenty-five yards out, he drives an effort in at goal which Pickford gets down to well, diving low to his left!
90+1'
Jones, full of confidence after his goal, dribbles around the pressing Rota before nutmegging him as well to get away down the left. He looks for Rogers ahead of him but Rota, to his credit, gets back well to win the ball back for Greece.
