From the Wembley posh seats the greats of England teams past must have looked down and wondered why it wasn’t always this easy. Few, if any, of the national side’s previous 999 games had been as straightforward as this.
Gareth Southgate’s England are safely in to the finals of next summer’s European Championships on the back of a rout that maybe he saw coming. Maybe there was a simple reason why Southgate left out Raheem Sterling after his scuffle with Joe Gomez at team HQ. He simply knew he would not need him.
Why some of the England supporters in a less than full Wembley chose to boo Gomez when he came on as a second half substitute was as mysterious as it was disappointing. The Liverpool defender was, after all, the innocent party in the incident with Sterling.
