LONDON, Nov 13: Harry Maguire, Jadon Sancho and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored as England dominated Ireland in a 3-0 victory.
The friendly at an empty Wembley Stadium on Thursday allowed 17-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham to make his England debut as a second-half substitute.
�We used the ball very well, created a lot of chances could have been more comfortable if we�d taken some of those chances, but overall very pleased,� England manager Gareth Southgate said.
With Harry Kane rested, Maguire captained England for the first time two months after being dropped from the squad over a legal case in Greece.
The Manchester United defender headed in his second England goal following one at the 2018 World Cup when he met Harry Winks� cross in the 18th minute.
Sancho doubled the lead in the 31st. Jack Grealish played out to Sancho, who cut in from the left before firing a low shot through Ireland midfielder Jeff Hendrick�s legs to beat goalkeeper Darren Randolph down low to his left. � AP
