Morgan Rogers scores for England senior team for the first time: "It's a dream come true"


In a friendly match, England's "Three Lions" defeated Wales' "Red Dragons" 3-0, thanks to goals from Morgan Rogers, Watkins, and Saka. Rogers, scoring for his first senior England national team, called it a dream come true and expressed his ambition to continue improving based on this foundation.


Three minutes into the match, Elliot Anderson headed Rice's corner kick towards the goal, and after receiving the ball, Guehi passed it back to Morgan Rogers, who scored with a low shot, helping England get off to a dream start of 1-0. In the 11th minute, Guehi tried a header, and then Watkins scored with a close-range volley, helping England continue to lead Wales 2-0.


In the 20th minute, Konsa organized an attack, Saka received the ball and broke through the defense before scoring with a lob, helping England extend their lead to 3-0. In the end, England defeated Wales 3-0 at Wembley Stadium.


Speaking about the feeling of scoring for the England senior team, Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers shared, "It's a proud moment and to be able to do it in a home derby is fantastic. It's a dream come true for me."


"Whether they are in the squad or not, the quality of the players is very high, so players cannot feel too comfortable and think that their position is stable, because other players can take your place at any time. The most important thing is to keep improving and perform, show your ability, and then continue to improve on this basis."


In addition, Saka, who returned to the England national team and scored a goal, said, "I haven't been back for a while. I am really happy to be back with the national team and score again. For me, this means a lot."


"It was all about moving the ball quickly. Our game plan went well and we just had to attack at the right time, which we did. You can see the manager's philosophy and what kind of team he wants us to be."


"I think we showed that again in this game and he should be very happy with the performance for most of the game, maybe just a little bit reserved towards the end," Saka said.


On the other hand, England will travel to Latvia in the next round of World Cup qualifiers. England currently ranks first in the K standings with 15 points, so Tuchel's team must get another 3 points to further consolidate their advantage in advancing to the finals.
