Match No. 1007 - Thursday, 12th November 2020, 8:00pm
Assist: Harry Winks. "Mason Mount’s corner was headed away but only to Harry Winks on the edge of the area and, when he dropped a chipped cross back over the top, it invited Maguire to rush in on Shane Duffy’s blindside. Maguire ambushed his marker and, if the header did not look to be completely clean, it had enough on it to beat Darren Randolph into the bottom corner." Harry Maguire2nd of 7 goals. Header from 8 yards., 18' 17:13
Assist: Jack Grealish. "Grealish was involved in the second goal, drawing the Ireland defence after accepting a pass from Winks before popping it on to Sancho. With Jeff Hendrick not tight enough, Sancho curled a ruthless finish into the far corner." Jadon Sancho3rd of 3 goals. Right-footed from 10 yards., 31' 30:25
Assist: Bukayo Saka. "...Mings’s lovely flick and [Saka] was too quick for Christie when he won the penalty from which Calvert-Lewin picked out the top corner." Dominic Calvert-Lewin2nd of 4 goals. Right-footed from 12 yards., 56' 55:22 (pen)
