Thomas Tuchel made it through his first test as England boss in a narrow win over Albania on Friday. His second assignment is around the corner, though, with a Monday night clash scheduled against Latvia.
Tuchel handed debuts to Dan Burn and Myles Lewis-Skelly, with the latter becoming the youngest England player to score on his debut. Harry Kane wrapped up the scoring for England, who made it a winning start to their FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
There was room for improvement, Tuchel said, citing a lack of "discipline." Will England make those further steps against Latvia?
