The derby between England and Ireland was one-sided, with the Three Lions crushing their opponents 5-0.
Notably, four players scored their debut goals for the national team in this match.
Details: Anthony Gordon, Conor Gallagher, Jarrod Bowen, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis all netted their first goals for England.
Furthermore, Southampton defender Harwood-Bellis scored in what was his debut match for the Three Lions.
It was the first time since October 1930, in a game against Northern Ireland (featuring debut goals from Harry Burgess, Jimmy Hampson, Sammy Crooks, and Eric Houghton), that four players scored their first goals for England in a single match.
