FT: England 3-0 Ivory Coast
Rob Green
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt went as a contest when the first goal went in, you could see the heads drop from the Ivory Coast team. After the sending off it was a case of how many.
England have looked fairly confident and measured throughout the two performances. A standout performance from Jude Bellingham tonight.

Lovely ball from Harry Maguire. He curls it over the top for Harry Kane, who should do better but his touch is poor and it rolls away from him.
If he had taken that down, he'd have got a shot off in space in the box.

Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's good patience from England but also good defence from Ivory Coast - it's like a game within a game, can you work that overload, like in training.

It almost comes through to Harry Kane in the box but it races into the keeper's arms just at the end.
The game has definitely lost an edge now.

Kyle Walker-Peters drills it into the feet of Phil Foden but his touch isn't great as he tries to spin in one movement. He gives a thumbs up for the pass.
