England delivered a dominant display on Thursday, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory over former group leaders Greece in Athens.
Ollie Watkins, preferred over Harry Kane, struck early to open the scoring within seven minutes, followed by an own goal from Odysseas Vlachodimos that doubled England's advantage. Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones capped off the performance with a stunning backheeled goal on his debut.
This marks England’s fourth win in five games under interim manager Lee Carsley, who will step down after Sunday’s match.
Historically, England remain unbeaten against the Republic of Ireland since their 1988 European Championship loss, though six of their last eight encounters have ended in draws
