Three lions commemorate Sven
On Tuesday night, Wembley celebrated the life of Sven-Goran Eriksson. The Swede, who became the first foreigner to manage England, died last month after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
England’s players wore black armbands while a photo of Eriksson poignantly adorned the cover of the match-day programme.
The image of the former Lazio coach appeared on the two giant screens inside the stadium as both sets of players, staff and fans observed a period of applause before kick-off.
Michael Owen and other players who played under Eriksson were invited to the game as part of the commemoration plan.
Emile Heskey, another of Eriksson’s former players, told the programme: “What struck me was how calm he was.

A photo of Eriksson poignantly graced the cover of the match-day programme.
“He could walk into a storm, with all hell breaking loose around him, and be exactly the same guy. The way he talked and got his points across really summed up how good he was. One of the best.”
Angel Gomes achieves a rare feat
Lille midfielder Angel Gomes became the first player to start a match for England while playing for a French club since Trevor Stevens in 1992.
Steven, who was playing for Marseille at the time, last played for England, ironically against France, in June of that year.
As things stand, there is little chance of Mason Greenwood, currently playing for Marseille, becoming the next as his exile in England continues.

Paper planes are still present at Wembley
New manager. Same paper planes. Origami planes had almost become a fixture of England matches here at Wembley under Gareth Southgate, as bored fans took to honing their paper-folding skills as a means of expressing their tedium.
Some things never change. On Tuesday night, during the first half of the game against the Finns, it rained paper airplanes.
England’s substitutes undergo an intense warm-up
England’s 10 substitutes underwent a rigorous warm-up at half-time.
Usually the substitutes spend the break passing the ball around among themselves before the second half.
But in a change to Southgate’s reign, fitness coach Hailu Theodoros put England’s players through an organised running session while Carsley conducted their half-time team talk.
