England secured a decisive 5-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland at Wembley Stadium, promoting them to Nations League Group A. The match marked the final game for interim manager Lee Carsley, who will be succeeded by Thomas Tuchel. Harry Kane opened the scoring with a penalty after Liam Scales was sent off for a second yellow card. Anthony Gordon, Conor Gallagher, Jarrod Bowen, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis each scored their first international goals, with Bowen scoring on his debut. Jude Bellingham played a pivotal role, contributing two assists and winning a penalty. Carsley leaves with an impressive record of five wins in six matches, scoring 16 goals and conceding only three. This victory is particularly notable as Carsley faced his old team.
