Lee Carsley praises young players in Nations League victory over Greece – video
England beat Greece 3-0 in Athens on Thursday night to go top of their Nations League group. Lee Carsley's decision to bench Harry Kane paid off as his replacement, Ollie Watkins, scored the opener after seven minutes. 'It’s important if we want to put players in a position to win the World Cup that these players need to have as many experiences as we can,' Carsley said. 'It’s no slight on Harry. He’ll start the next game. I see the quality the players have got. The younger ones are more than capable with the quality and mentality they’ve got.'
Jordan Pickford kept England in the game with a couple of strong saves before an Odysseas Vlachodimos own goal and Curtis Jones flick sealed the victory.
