The BBC reports the Three Lions emerged victors with a 4-0 convincing win, with Gareth Southgate's men having no trouble sweeping their opponents aside.

England took the lead inside eight minutes of action courtesy of Apap's own goal before Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnord doubled the advantage in the 28th minute.

Harry Kane made it 3-0 from the penalty spot three minutes later before Callum Wilson put the game beyond the hosts in the 83rd minute with England's fourth goal.

Rashford goes viral with silky skill

Despite England's impressive win, it was Rashford's silky skill during the match that became the biggest talking point of the match.

The Sun reports that the Man United ace pulled off the skill midway through the match after he found himself chased down by Joseph Mbong.

While Mbong attempted to block Rashford's path, he was unsuccessful as the forward produced not one, not two, but three step-overs before edging the ball in the opposite direction.

Rashford to become top earner

Earlier, Sports Brief reported David de Gea could reportedly play a huge role in Marcus Rashford becoming Manchester United's highest-earning player.

Rashford was in fine shape for United during the just-concluded 2022/23 campaign that saw the Red Devils end their long wait for a trophy when they beat Newcastle in the final of the Carabao Cup to lift the title.

According to reports, United are looking to reward Rashford with a new bumper deal following his blistering run of form.

The Sun claims the new deal could see the forward earn as much as £375,000-a-week deal to become the club's highest earner.
