Tuchel's boys labour past Latvians - SPARKLING STUFF? EZE DOES IT

WEMBLEY was half-empty by the final whistle after a dull, uninspiring win.

- 

England fans had seen enough of a familiar story one that was neither exciting nor entertaining.

Well, what do you expect against the 140th-best team in the world? A bit more sparkle than this, that's for sure.

Welcome to the England job, Thomas Tuchel. Even when you win you're on a hiding to nothing in these David v Goliath encounters.

Goals from Reece James, Harry Kane and Eberechi Eze spared the blushes - but this performance left plenty of questions and Tuchel, pacing his technical area for most of the night, knew it was far from convincing.

The German coach said: "It was not an easy match. We saw a lot of good things, created good chances.

"We needed a free-kick to unlock it. I'm happy with the attitude, energy and desire.

We will get there.
