City's 17 stars chasing World Cup glory

City’s versatile defender started at left-back in Orlando and was joined by former Blue John Stones in Thomas Tuchel’s backline.

After kick-off was delayed by an hour due to weather conditions in Florida, Declan Rice opened the scoring in the ninth minute when arriving onto a cut-back and firing home.

That represented the first half’s only goal, but Anthony Gordon despatched from the penalty spot to double England’s lead with just over 20 minutes remaining.

Tuchel then rung the changes with the final stages approaching, which included Dan Burn replacing O’Reilly, meanwhile, James Trafford remained unused.

Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins then rubber-stamped the win when heading into the net from close range in what was England’s final outing ahead of the World Cup.

The Three Lions are in Group L and start the tournament with a clash against Croatia on the following Wednesday 17 June, kick-off 21:00 (UK), at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium.
