England Beats Wales on Goals from 3 1st-Time Scorers

LONDON (AP) — Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Danny Ings and Conor Coady scored their first England goals in a 3-0 victory over Wales in a friendly on Thursday when international football returned to Wembley after 11 months.

A prolific start to the season with Everton earned Calvert-Lewin an England debut, and the striker took only 26 minutes to head in from Jack Grealish’s cross inside an empty stadium.

While finding the target was anticipated of a player who now has 10 goals in seven matches for club and country, Coady making the scoresheet was not expected.

But the defender, who has only one goal in five years for Wolverhampton Wanderers, got on the end of Kieran Trippier’s free kick with a half-volley eight minutes into the second half of his second England appearance.
