Marcus Rashford Scores Lone Goal as England Beat Switzerland in Friendly

Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game as England secured a 1-0 friendly win over Switzerland at Leicester City's King Power Stadium on Tuesday.

Manager Gareth Southgate made nine changes to his team and saw his side struggle in a first half which the visitors dominated.

The Three Lions improved after the break and took the lead on 54 minutes. Kyle Walker sent in a cross from the right, and the Manchester United striker was left unmarked at the far post where he swept home.

The victory ends a run of three straight defeats for England, while Switzerland taste defeat for just the second time in 12 games.
