The Lee Carsley era begins in style.
Jack Grealish scored on his return to the England team Lee Carsley’s reign as England boss began in style on Saturday as the Three Lions beat the Republic Ireland 2-0 in Dublin. Goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish – much to the fury of the Irish fans – got England on their way in their first game since the Euro 2024 final defeat and Gareth Southgate’s resignation. Carsley’s side were fast, fluid and near unstoppable in the first-half but couldn’t keep the momentum up after the break.
Declan Rice – 9 Much of the build-up to the game centred on the reception Rice and Grealish would get from the home fans, so it was destiny when the midfielder opened the scoring before setting up his fellow ex-Ireland star for the second. Brilliant all over the pitch. Declan Rice – who played three times for Ireland – refused to celebrate scoring against them Kobbie Mainoo – 7 Sat deeper than his midfield partner and linked play well. Booked early on.
