Player of the Match Bukayo Saka scored twice in brilliant fashion as England kicked off their 2022 World Cup campaign in style with a 6-2 win over Iran.
Our 21-year-old forward was chosen by Gareth Southgate for England's first starting XI of the tournament to face Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium. He made a confident and energetic start to his World Cup debut before an early head injury to Iranian keeper Alireza Beiranvand halted proceedings, resulting in 14 minutes of added time in the first half.
Borussia Dortmund teenager Jude Bellingham opened the scoring after 35 minutes with a superb glancing header and Saka doubled England's advantage less than ten minutes later.
