World Cup 2026 (Q): England continues their winning streak against Latvia

Two matches, two victories: Thomas Tuchel is off to a perfect start as the manager of the Three Lions. After defeating Albania, England dominated Latvia (3-0) at Wembley this Monday, comfortably securing their position at the top of Group K.

The victory could have been even more convincing as the English besieged the opposing goal, but Latvia put up a brave resistance. However, after several missed attempts, Reece James broke the deadlock with a free-kick in the 38th minute, scoring his first goal for the national team.

After the break, the visitors continued to defend deep, limiting space. But the English pressure eventually paid off: Harry Kane showcased his opportunism in the 68th minute, bringing his tally to 71 goals for the national team. Eberechi Eze, with a brilliant solo effort, sealed England's victory in the 76th minute. Final score: 3-0.

With this perfect start, England approaches the rest of the qualifiers with confidence. Next up: Andorra in June, a match well within their reach to confirm their status as favorites in Group K.
