What’s Hot and What’s Not as England beat Malta at Wembley

After a turbulent few weeks for England, which has seen Sam Allardyce sacked and Gareth Southgate take over as interim boss, the Three Lions picked up a comfortable 2-0 win over Malta on Saturday.

First half goals from Daniel Sturridge and Dele Alli set Southgate’s side on their way to an easy win at Wembley and, although the second half lacked the same intensity as the first, the hosts were never really troubled by the world’s 176th ranked side.

The former Middlesbrough boss handed a debut to Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard, and there was also a start for Arsenal’s Theo Walcott, such has been his good form for the Gunners this season.

Wayne Rooney also got the nod in midfield despite not starting Manchester United’s last two Premier League matches, and there was also a recall for Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand, although his evening ended after just 18 minutes due to injury.

So, what can we take from Saturday’s game at Wembley? Who impressed for England and who should fear for their place on Tuesday in Slovenia? Here is what’s hot and what’s not after England’s victory on Saturday…
