Resume of Reds' first World Cup games

ENGLAND

How did it go?
An impressive 6-2 thrashing of Iran laid down a marker for Gareth Southgate's side, who got off to a flier despite a game featuring long stoppages and just as much injury time. The Three Lions were coasting, 3-0 up at the interval, and even a dubious penalty scored by Mehdi Taremi in the 13th minute of added-on time at the end failed to take any gloss off an outstanding performance.

What did our boys do?
It was just about perfect from a United perspective, aside from Harry Maguire being withdrawn due to feeling ill.
