Rashford and Foden re-energise England: Winners, losers and ratings as Three Lions roar into World Cup last 16 - World Cup Update
Gareth Southgate gave the fans what they wanted by making changes to his starting line-up that inspired a rousing 3-0 win over Wales.
Marcus Rashford is smiling again. And so are England. After being tamed by the United States last time out, the Three Lions tore Wales to shreds in the second half of an ultimately facile 3-0 victory at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium on Tuesday night.
The fans had demanded changes after the dismal draw with U.S. on match day two and they got them, with Gareth Southgate bringing Phil Foden and Rashford into a misfiring forward line.
Both players made a massive impact, with Rashford striking either side of a Foden tap-in to move level with Enner Valencia, Kylian Mbappe and Cody Gakpo at the top of the tournament's goalscorers' charts on three goals. Southgate said afterwards that Rashford is "a different player to the one we had at Euro 2020" and it's impossible to disagree.
