Thomas Tuchel saw England wrap up their World Cup preparations by putting three past Costa Rica in their final warm-up at Orlando’s Inter&Co Stadium –although an hour later than planned after a storm delayed kick-off.

The Three Lions were far from spectacular in a box-ticking win against New Zealand on Saturday, but they were much snappier here with Declan Rice firing them into an early lead. Anthony Gordon doubled the advantage from the penalty spot in the second half, after captain Harry Kane had been substituted, while Ollie Watkins’s late header from close range added some gloss to a resounding win.

Bukayo Saka also appeared off the bench after Tuchel’s admission on Tuesday that the Arsenal forward must be managed carefully, due to an injury that has been bothering him for months. Saka came on to replace Noni Madueke, who earlier hit the post.
