England 3-0 Latvia: Player ratings as Three Lions stay perfect under Thomas Tuchel

- James' excellent free kick followed by strikes from Kane and Eze
- Tuchel ends first international break with perfect record.
By Tom Gott
England made it two wins from two in the Thomas Tuchel era with a controlled 3-0 victory over Latvia at Wembley on Monday evening.
England dominated possession throughout but, despite managing a whopping 17 shots on goal in the first half, had to wait until a stunning free kick from Reece James nestled into the Latvia top corner seven minutes before the break to open the scoring.
Harry Kane tapped home a second 68 minutes in, before Eberechi Eze came off the bench to slot home a third and add some more flair to the result.
The perfect start to qualification sees England end the international break top of Group K and builds some momentum ahead of the next camp in June, when they travel to face Andorra before a friendly against Senegal.
