Raheem Sterling was the hero in the previous match, converting Kalvin Phillips’ brilliant reverse pass in the second half.
Scotland, in comparison, started on a negative note losing 2-0 to Czech Republic. Patrick Schick was the hero of the game, scoring both goals including a sensational long-range effort. They hope to make amends in the next game.
