For Grealish, he lined in midfield for England. His game looked well suited to life as a midfielder for Lee Carsley’s side. He was a prominent feature in England’s possession game and was rewarded with a first-half goal. Grealish linked up the play well in the 76 minutes he was on the pitch. After his summer disappointment of missing England’s European Championships squad the City winger put in a determined display for England.

John Stones came on for the final 5 minutes for England while Rico Lewis was an unused substitute.

Netherlands 5 Bosnia Herzegovina 2.

Nathan Ake played 66 minutes in the Netherlands 5-2 win over Bosnia Herzegovina. The Dutch defender was composed at the back before being substituted midway through the second half.

Goals from Joshua Zirkzee, Cody Gakpo, Tijana Reijnders, Wout Weghorst and Xabi Simons were enough for Holland to pick up the win.
