    England 3-0 Republic of Ireland

    A second shot on target for Republic of Ireland as Ronan Curtis has a pop from distance, stinging the hands of Dean Henderson.

    It has been a relatively busy couple of minutes for Henderson, who I am pretty sure spent the first 20 minutes of his England debut thinking about what he's going to have for tea tomorrow night, he had that little to do.

    Wonder what Roy Keane makes of this performance?

    Republic of Ireland have offered very little but it was always going to be tough for the visitors and their main focus will be on the Nations League.

    Just over 10 minutes left.

    Mount played very well in the midfield two tonight. Great link up with Grealish who popped up all over to help link with the attack. Much more fluid than the previous fixtures where England lacked creativity.

    Mike, London

    Watching Grealish is just a joy. He's seriously matured into a world class player after being relegated with villa. Unbelievable talent.

    What a wonderful moment. Gareth Southgate identifies these younger players and gets them into the team, gets them playing. Jude Bellingham, what a moment.

  6. Bellingham on for debutpublished at 72 mins

    England 3-0 Republic of Ireland

    What a moment for Jude Bellingham as the teenager comes on to become the third youngest player to represent England.

    The Borussia Dortmund midfielder, who is 17 years and 137 days old, follows on from Theo Walcott, aged 17 years 75 days, and Wayne Rooney - 17 years 111 days as England's youngest players.

    He's on for Mason Mount.

    It was a pleasure to see Jack Grealish play tonight. Someone who is at the top of their game and to play with players who appreciate that and make runs off it. You are seeing that with Aston Villa this season - last season it felt like he was carrying the team - now he has the freedom to go and express himself.

    With the fixture-heavy schedule and the pleas from Premier League managers, just to give the players a bit of a break, you can't say these players tonight haven't taken the opportunity.
