      Foster ensures side do not slip up
      There has been a bitter feeling in the England camp in the lead up to this tournament after clubs pulled their players from the squad.
      Ian Foster was without three of his first team regulars as a result of the decisions.
      The Young Lions’ manager, reshuffled the pack and managed to grind out a victory in their opening fixture.

      Matthew Cox did not have a busy evening in the England goal but when he was called upon, he did well.

      The Young Lions dominated the game today as most would have expected but with their depleted squad, they will just be happy for the win.
      Gloss can be added to these performances when the rest of the squad fly out to Argentina.

      60. Vale is starting to get more delivery into the box.

      All too often, only Scarlett is showing for him.
      England 1-0 Tunisia
      58. A second goal may well see this Tunisia team off.
      The longer it stays at a one-goal lead, the North Africans will feel they are still in this game.
      Oyegoke manages to cross but Tunisia hack it clear.

      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      15. Manchester City’s players are literally queuing up to score a second.
      Alvarez gets in the way of Foden’s shot after another Palmer cross from the left, and Mahrez is unable to mop up at the back post.

      13. Azpilicueta looks as though he wishes he were anywhere else right now.
      He could have been playing for Barcelona this season…

      11. The champions have the lead!
      Wesley Fofana gives the ball away unnecessarily in his own half, and City waste no time in taking advantage.
      With Cesar Azpilicueta and Trevoh Chalobah out of position, Cole Palmer pushes forward and slips a pass right to Julian Alvarez, who arrows past Kepa Arrizabalaga to score.
      Simple. Scintillating. City.

      The party begins!
