England manager Thomas Tuchel got off to a steady start with wins over Albania and Latvia in their 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Three Lions sealed a comprehensive 3-0 victory over the latter yesterday to make it two from two for the German tactician.
Tuchel is the first permanent manager to win his first two competitive games in charge of England since Fabio Capello in September 2008. England have not been flashy, but they got the job done against a Latvia side that was difficult to break down.
England needed a free-kick from Reece James for the game to spark into life.
