Morgan Rogers scored and completed 90 minutes as England beat Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, while Chelsea team-mate Malo Gusto started for France in their defeat to Italy.
Chelsea’s official international round-up reports that Rogers opened the scoring in the 24th minute. Playing on the right of England’s attack, he finished from close range after Jude Bellingham’s knock-down.
Morgan Rogers scores for England
Croatia equalised through Petar Sucic shortly before the hour, but Harry Kane’s penalty put England back ahead. Rogers stayed on for the full match as Thomas Tuchel’s side secured the win.
The club says the result leaves England second in Group C, three points behind Spain, their next opponents in Madrid. Rogers’ goal added an international contribution to his start at Chelsea, with the club reporting that he has already been involved in ten goals since his summer move from Aston Villa.
