GOALS from Reece James, Harry Kane and Eberechi Eze sealed a comfortable victory for Thomas Tuchel’s efficient England against an obdurate Latvia side in front of 79,572 fans at Wembley Stadium. 

On a chilly Monday March evening, James’s first half free-kick for his first senior England goal put the Three Lions ahead on 38 minutes, prior to Kane slotting home Declan Rice’s low cross for his 71st England goal on 68 minutes. Crystal Palace substitute Eberechi Eze clinched Tuchel’s second win on the bounce as boss with 14 minutes remaining.
