Gareth Southgate's men turn it around after lackluster first half

England continued their unbeaten run in Euro 2024 qualifiers with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Malta. While the first half was uninspiring, the team showed more energy and creativity in the second half, thanks in part to some tactical changes by Southgate.

Phil Foden impresses with his skills

One of the standout performers for England was Phil Foden. The young midfielder displayed his talent with his dribbling and attacking runs. Foden was involved in both goals, providing the cross that led to an own goal and contributing to the build-up for Harry Kane's goal.

Conor Gallagher's struggles

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for England. Conor Gallagher had a difficult game, giving the ball away early on and consistently making sloppy passes. As a result, he was substituted at half-time.

Key Performances

Other notable performances include Trent Alexander-Arnold, who controlled the midfield and showcased his skills against Malta's players. Bukayo Saka and Kyle Walker also made an impact as substitutes, providing width and stability to the team.

Looking ahead

England's victory sets them up well for their next match against North Macedonia on Monday. With promising young talents like Foden and Saka, the future looks bright for the Three Lions.
