Calvert-Lewin scores debut goal as England beat Wales

Dominic Calvert-Lewin marked his England debut with a goal as Gareth Southgate’s side eased to victory in the friendly against Wales at Wembley.

Everton’s in-form striker rose to head his 10th goal of the season after 26 minutes from Jack Grealish, delivering an impressive all-round display until he was substituted just before the hour.

The outstanding Grealish was at the heart of England’s best work, drawing the foul that led to England’s second goal eight minutes after the break. Kieran Trippier delivered a perfect free-kick that was turned in by an ecstatic Conor Coady for his first international goal.

England were now in control against a Wales side defending an eight-match unbeaten run and Danny Ings, making his first start, showed superb athleticism to add a third in the 63rd minutre with a perfectly-executed overhead kick after Tyrone Mings had headed down a Kalvin Phillips corner.
