England secured a convincing 3-0 win over Latvia in their second World Cup qualifying match at Wembley Stadium, showcasing a strong performance under new head coach Thomas Tuchel. The victory marks a perfect start to their qualifying campaign, following their recent win against Albania.

Reece James, making his first international start in over two and a half years, opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick just before halftime. His effort curled beautifully into the top corner, breaking the deadlock after England had struggled to break down a resolute Latvian defense. The goal came after a period of pressure, where England nearly conceded due to a miscommunication in defense that allowed Latvia a clear chance, but they failed to capitalize.

In the second half, Harry Kane doubled England’s lead in the 68th minute, tapping in at the back post after a well-executed team move involving Declan Rice and Morgan Rogers. Eberechi Eze capped off the scoring in the 76th minute, finding the net after a deflection, sealing a comfortable win for the Three Lions.

England's performance was marked by a series of attacking opportunities, with Marcus Rashford creating multiple chances despite being criticized for his earlier performance. The team displayed better cohesion than in their previous match, and Tuchel expressed satisfaction with the players' efforts, emphasizing the need for continued improvement as they prepare for future matches.

With this win, England leads Group K with six points from their first two qualifying matches. The upcoming international break will provide an opportunity for Tuchel to further mold the squad ahead of their next fixtures in June. The players are optimistic about their progress under Tuchel, with Kane and James highlighting the positive atmosphere and tactical clarity brought by the new coach.
