Young Lions get off to winning start
England have started their 2023 FIFA World Cup campaign with a win, albeit a slender one against Tunisia.
The North Africans are appearing at the tournament for the first time since 1985 and gave a good showing of themsleves.
Matthew Cox did not have a busy evening in the England goal but when he was called upon, he did well.
They will face a much more difficult opponent in Uruguay later in the week but have time to prepare for it now.
FT: England 1-0 Tunisia
England almost added the icing to the cake at the end of game as Daniel Jebbison struck the woodwork.
It seemed he had the goal at his mercy but his side footed effort came back off the post.
The Young Lions dominated the game today as most would have expected but with their depleted squad, they will just be happy for the win.
Gloss can be added to these performances when the rest of the squad fly out to Argentina.
