Lee Carsley made a winning start as interim England boss as goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish secured a 2-0 victory over Republic of Ireland in their Nations League opener.

Rice and Grealish struck in the space of 15 first-half minutes to answer the boos of the home fans at the Aviva Stadium having switched allegiance from Ireland to England as young players.

Rice declined to celebrate his goal, slammed home from the centre of the box, but Grealish, back in the team after being omitted from the squad for Euro 2024, enjoyed his moment having found the corner from Rice’s cut-back to cap a slick England move.

England fans hoping to see a more attacking style than under Gareth Southgate could take encouragement from their first-half display, with Harry Kane and the impressive Anthony Gordon also going close and Trent Alexander-Arnold orchestrating proceedings from right-back.
