We have the Greece vs England highlights as the Three Lions secured a crucial 3-0 win in Athens to keep their League B2 promotion hopes very much alive.
Ollie Watkins, a Odysseas Vlachodimos own goal and a Curtis Jones stunner saw Lee Carsley’s side avenge their shock defeat at Wembley last month.
The memories of October’s Greek tragedy are well and truly over. Now, Carsley can look to bow out having secured safe age back to the top tier of the UEFA Nations League.
That will be made reality with a victory over Ireland in three days time. Before then, England can revel in glory after their solid showing on Thursday.
From Jones’ perspective, it was the perfect Three Lions debut. His back-heeled finish was the cherry on top of the cake after a solid midfield display.
Premier League starlets Lewis Hall and Morgan Rogers were also given their senior bows. The duo also impressed at the Athens Olympic Stadium.

England’s promotion hopes are back in their own hands after cruising to a comfortable 3-0 victory. Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins gave the Three Lions the lead with his fifth international goal.
Watkins’ finish after seven minutes put Lee Carsley’s side on the way. However, they weren’t able to add to their advantage before half-time.
In the second period, Jude Bellingham came close to making it 2-0 as his header hit the post. Then the same player hit the woodwork again before the rebound cannoned in off the unfortunate Odysseas Vlachodimos.
Keeper Jordan Pickford made a number of fine stops as the Greeks pushed to halve the deficit. However, Curtis Jones put the game beyond doubt with his sublime flicked finish.
