Bukayo Saka shows his class as England beats Ukraine in Euro 2024 qualifying
ENGLAND 2-0 UKRAINE: Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka scored a lovely goal and assisted Harry Kane’s opener to give Gareth Southgate’s side back-to-back wins in Euro 2024 qualifiers.
England continued their perfect start to their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign by beating Ukraine 2-0 at Wembley on Sunday evening.
After a tricky start to the game, Gareth Southgate’s side established a commanding half-time lead thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka. England failed to add to their tally in the second half, as Brentford striker Ivan Toney made his international debut.
England have now picked up six points to give themselves a great chance of reaching next summer’s tournament in Germany, with their next game against Malta pencilled in for June 16. The Three Lions defeated Italy 2-1 in Naples in their opening qualifier.
Luke Shaw’s red card against Italy forced to Southgate to bring in a new left-back against Ukraine. Despite being a right-back by trade, Kieran Trippier was expected to get the nod – but it was Ben Chilwell who was picked for his first England start since November 2021.
The big shock was the inclusion of James Maddison, who last played for England more than three years ago. Often viewed as the forgotten man, the Leicester playmaker has forced his way back into Southgate’s plans by scoring nine goals and providing five assists in the Premier League this season. Maddison will be hoping to remain part of the squad.
