England 6-2 Iran: Gareth Southgate's side score SIX to get World Cup campaign started in style in Qatar
It was the perfect start for England manager Gareth Southgate as Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka scored twice to help them beat Iran 6-2 in their first match of the 2022 World Cup. Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish also found themselves on the scoresheet. The only concern was a late injury to central defender Harry Maguire who had to be taken off in the second half.
