It was Trippier's 30th minute header that Maguire thundered into the net, rising like a Soyuz rocket to give Robin Olsen no chance and England a vital opening goal against a side that was giving little away.

Just before the hour Trippier was again the provider with the cross that saw Dele Ali double England's lead.

Others are finding maturity under Southgate; John Stones hardly put a foot wrong in central defense where Kyle Walker showed pace and awareness in a role he doesn't usually play and Jordan Henderson is mature an hard working in midfield, providing a perfect foil as Jesse Lingard flits and probes for openings.

"We are one of the youngest teams here, but we are an improving side and want to make history. We are an emerging side, an evolving side: a long way from perfect," said England coach Gareth Southgate.

They are also a side that shows unity, both with each other and also with the fans, maybe because that unity they show among themselves touches a chord that recent England sides, aloof and distant and ultimately underachieving failed to touch.
