England made an emphatic start to the October international break by comfortably beating Wales 3-0 in Thursday’s friendly.Morgan Rogers netted his first international goal to put the Three Lions ahead at Wembley Stadium with just three minutes played. Rogers kickstarted the England dominance just moments into the matchGettyMarc Guehi did well to keep the ball in play and pass to the Aston Villa man, who simply tapped in past Karl Darlow.Ollie Watkins, who deputised for Harry Kane at striker, added to their early dominance with another close range finish on 11 minutes.Some poor Wales defending allowed him to find the back of the net almost on the goal line for an easy second.A rampant England the added a third shortly before the midway mark of the first half when Bukayo Saka curled in a beautiful strike.The Arsenal star found the top corner with a stunning effort to score his first international goal since Euro 2024.Wales offered an improved display during the second half, but will be left to rue their 20-minute collapse at the beginning of the night.Thomas Tuchel‘s side were able to set themselves up well for their 2026 World Cup qualifier in Latvia on Tuesday, live on talkSPORT.Speaking post-match, legendary talkSPORT broadcaster Adrian Durham hailed the hosts’ performance, as he said: “Comfortable from the 20th minute onwards, comfortable from the third minute onwards really for England, and maybe just a little bit too comfortable.”He added: “England have just been very good – against Serbia first 20 minutes, half an hour, first half here. They were excellent and it shows what they can do. They can be brilliant.”Here’s how Durham rated and slated both sets of players…Watkins put the hosts in further control with a simple finishGettySaka scored the best of the lot with a superb strikeGettySuper SakaHaving been injured for a large chunk of last season, it’s no surprise that Saka has waited over a year for his latest England goal.But his strike against Wales not only showed just how good he is on the right-hand side, but also how important he is for his country.Saka – awarded a 9/10 by Durham – was a constant threat on the wings and gave the opposition defence plenty to think about when England went forward.Durham was left in awe with his goal too, as he called it ‘One of the best Wembley goals ever’.Awesome from AndersonOnce again, Tuchel put his trust in Anderson and was repaid with an outstanding display in midfield.It may have been just his third appearance for England, but the 22-year-old looked comfortable alongside captain Declan Rice.GettySaka starred at Wembley as he fired in a dream strike[/caption]Anderson already looks like an experienced internationalGettyAnderson maintained the England tempo throughout the match and earned one of the top marks of the night from Durham.“Some stunning moments, he can play,” the talkSPORT host declared, awarding him a 9/10.Gold for GuehiGuehi saw a deadline day move to Liverpool dramatically collapse, but he has not let this stand in the way of his professionalism.The centre-back has shone once again for Crystal Palace and taken his quality onto the international stage with a fine England outing.Guehi may be at his strongest in defence, but he demonstrated his attacking instincts to help England dominate from the off.Durham – giving Guehi a 7/10 – said: “Effective at both ends, but could’ve seen red with a wild challenge first half.”Guehi once again showed why he deserves to start in defenceGettyWale I neverIt was a performance to forget for Tottenham Hotspur winger Brennan Johnson.Johnson has been criticised on social media by Wales fans for his lack of work rate in the first half.It was a view shared by Durham, who awarded the player a 2/10 – with the 24-year-old one of seven Wales star to be given the same rating.He said of his dismal display: ” Craig Bellamy wants his players to run for the cause, and Johnson didn’t do that first half.”Not what he wantedWales boss Craig Bellamy was aware of the danger England possessed prior to the match, and unfortunately, his side were no match in London.Bellamy and his squad were humbled at the Home of Football, and while the visitors improved in the second half, Durham could only give the ex-Liverpool forward a 2/10.It was a performance to forget for WalesShutterstock EditorialDurham stated: “Said Wales would die a slow death if they sat deep against England, so he went for the quick death by abandoning any kind of defending first half.“Taught a lesson. But a great press conference.”Adrian Durham's England vs Wales player ratingsEngland starting XI:Jordan Pickford – 7/10Ezri Konsa – 7/10John Stones – 8/10Marc Guehi – 7/10Djed Spence – 7/10Elliot Anderson – 9/10Declan Rice – 8/10Bukayo Saka – 9/10Morgan Rogers – 8/10Anthony Gordon – 7/10Ollie Watkins – 8/10Substitutes:Marcus Rashford – 6/10Jarrod Bowen – N/AMorgan Gibbs-White – N/AJordan Henderson – N/ARuben Loftus-Cheek – N/AMyles Lewis-Skelly – N/AManager:Thomas Tuchel – 8/10Wales starting XI:Karl Darlow – 2/10Neco Williams – 2/10Joe Rodon – 6/10Ben Davies – 2/10Josh Dasilva – 2/10Ethan Ampadu – 2/10David Brooks – 7/10Harry Wilson – 2/10Liam Cullen – 4/10Brennan Johnson – 2/10Kieffer Moore – 2/10Substitutes:Jordan James – N/ARonan Kpakio – N/AChris Mepham – N/AJosh Sheehan – N/AMark Harris – N/ALewis Koumas – N/AManager:Craig Bellamy – 2/10Wales fans – 7/10
