The substitutes guide England home
Trending
Roy Hodgson’s substitutions at half time did the trick as both Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge scored to ensure a 2-1 win for the Three Lions. Vardy was sharp as he latched on to a gift from the opposition to make it 1-1. Late on, Sturridge worked his way past the Welsh defence and sealed the win for England. Apart from the goals, both these players delivered a good performance. Vardy was a constant menace to the Welsh defence especially Ashley Williams who had great trouble in dealing with him. Sturridge was also in rare form, as he employed his skills and trickery, ensuring he was a constant threat to Chris Coleman’s side. His partnership with Dele Alli eventually led to the goal.
Even new-boy Marcus Rashford, who broke Wayne Rooney’s record for the youngest English player to play in the Euros, had a decent outing showing signs that have made him a cult hero at Old Trafford. With his substitutes shining, Roy Hodgson has a problem on his hands with regard to his starting eleven in the next game.
