Gareth Southgate has come under mass scrutiny in recent months but his England side once again proved they are a force to be reckoned with as they started their World Cup campaign with a bang.
The Three Lions strolled to a 6-2 victory over Iran in their opening Group B clash, while rivals USA and Wales will play tonight, with Bukayo Saka starring as he claimed an expertly-taken brace.
In victory, Southgate claimed two highly impressive accolades, having now won more games than any other Three Lions manager at major tournaments, while setting the record for their most goals scored in a World Cup opener by any England side.
