Tuchel calls for ‘more impact’ from Rashford and Foden after England win

Both players substituted in 2-0 win against Albania
‘Our wingers were not decisive as they can be’

Thomas Tuchel opened his England reign with a 2-0 win over Albania but said his team must improve and criticised Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden for not making an impact on the wings.

The new head coach delivered a honest critique of his first game in charge, saying there was a lack of discipline during a challenging second half and he was unimpressed with his wide players. Foden and Rashford were substituted after failing to seize a chance to impress from the start.
