Match No. 1054 - Monday, 3rd June 2024, 7:45pm

England 3 - 0 Bosnia and Herzegovina
St James' Park, Newcastle

Assist: Ezri Konsa. "Gallagher wins a corner down the right. Alexander-Arnold swings it into the mixer. The ball comes back to Alexander-Arnold. Another corner. Take two. This one leads to a melee, Bowen’s effort flashing wide. Deflected, and it’ll be a third corner in a row. … but before it can be taken, VAR checks for a potential penalty. Did Konsa have his shirt pulled? The referee is heading over to the screen. Yep, Tahirović had a handful of the back of Konsa’s shirt. He’s booked and the referee points to the spot. Palmer whistles the spot kick into the bottom right. Easy and simple as that. Vasilj went the right way, and may even have got a finger to it, but the penalty was hit so powerfully, there’s no stopping it!" Cole Palmer1st of 2 goals. Left-footed from 12 yards., 60' 59:51 (pen)
Assist: Jack Grealish. "Grealish makes a bit of space for himself to the left of the D, checks back, then loops a cross towards Alexander-Arnold on the right-hand edge of the six-yard box. Alexander-Arnold meets the dropping ball by steering it across Vasilj and into the bottom left. That’s a wonderful finish, with an assist to match." Trent Alexander-Arnold3rd of 3 goals. Right-footed from 12 yards., 85' 84:46
"Grealish again cute on the left. He slips Maddison towards the byline. Maddison cuts back for Bowen, who shoots towards the bottom right. It’s heading in, but Konsa gets in the way. No matter, as the ball rebounds to Kane, who forces the ball home from close range." Harry Kane63rd of 66 goals. Left-footed from 4 yards., 89' 88:15
