Greece 0 - 3 England

Jordan Pickford plays in goal tonight for England in their must-win game against Greece in Athens, the prize being 1st place in and promotion from Group B2 of the Nations League.

It's the penultimate game in charge for former Everton midfielder, Lee Carsley, whose selection has been challenged by nine players withdrawing from the quad through injury.

Ollie Watkins, leading the line in place of Harry Kane, had an easy finish after just 6 minutes when Madueke made it to the byeline and cut a nice ball back to him. 

Three brilliant saves by Jordan Pickford kept England in it but the Three Lions couldn't fashion another goal until Kane came on with 25 minutes left.

Pickford showing why he's undoubtedly England's number one!

Pickford is perfectly suited to international football with its lack of aerial threat. His reflexes are superb.

And he doesn't continually boot it like Peter Kaye in that 'have it' advert like he does for us!

Pickford is a very good goalie, with some weaknesses, but I’m happy we’ve got him.

Great saves, completely dominated his area and superb distribution. Same as he does every game.

Should keep Pickford's constant critics quiet.

It was not a very good game, but England without the dropouts made the best of it.
