England sets a 34-year record after victory over Wales

England maintains their dominant form under Tuchel by defeating Wales 3-0 in a friendly match at Wembley on the morning of October 10th. This win further prolongs the 'Three Lions' run of goals.

During the first 20 minutes, England completely dominated Wales with three quick goals, nearly deciding the match early on. Morgan Rogers opened the scoring in the 3rd minute after a precise pass from Marc Guehi, giving the home side an early advantage. Shortly after, Ollie Watkins doubled the lead with a close-range finish, leaving the Welsh defense helpless. Finally, Bukayo Saka sealed the first half with a powerful left-footed shot into the top corner, making it 3-0. This scoreline remained until the end of the game.

This result was not only a commanding win but also marked a significant milestone for England: they have scored in 17 consecutive matches across all competitions. The last time the team achieved this feat was in 1991, during the golden era of English football. This record is even more remarkable considering Tuchel's squad was missing several stars, including Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, and Jude Bellingham, who are usually key players in important matches. Harry Kane, England’s all-time top scorer with 74 goals in 109 appearances, was also absent due to an ankle injury.

This victory helps England maintain momentum ahead of crucial upcoming matches, including the World Cup qualifiers against Latvia next week. Additionally, it marks England’s 8th consecutive win against Wales in history, establishing clear dominance. The only downside to the match was Ollie Watkins sustaining an injury after colliding with the goalpost.

Coach Tuchel, who attracted attention by leaving out some stars, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the players given the chance. This win proves that England is not solely reliant on familiar names but also has enough squad depth to sustain form and set impressive records like scoring in 17 straight matches across all competitions.

With the 3-0 victory over Wales, England not only extended their unbeaten streak but also confirmed their superior attacking power, raising hopes of continuing to dominate their group and confidently advancing towards the World Cup finals.
