England were able to secure a 2-1 victory during an international friendly against Australia at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland.
Manchester United’s teenage sensation Marcus Rashford became the youngest player ever to score for the Three Lions on his debut when he hit the net in the third minute of play. Therefore, Rashford gave his hopes of making Roy Hodgson’s final 23-man squad for Euro 2016 a huge boost.

Consequently, Twitter went crazy about another goal by the 18-year-old:

Landed in Milan to the news that it took Marcus Rashford 3 minutes to score on his England debut. Don’t be too hard on him.

Rashford went from U18 fixtures at Carrington to England XI in the space of 3 months. Sometimes I get a haircut in the space of 3 months.

I’d even take Rashford if Sturridge was fully fit (is that even a thing?). Brilliant story.

After Wayne Rooney put England up 2-0, things turned for the Three Lions. Substitute Eric Dier scored a perfect header…into his own net.

Not surprisingly, the Tottenham player got mocked on Twitter:
72′: Eric Dier comes on to replace Chris Smalling.
75′: Eric Dier scores an own goal.
Oh Dier, oh Dier. pic.twitter.com/qxFPtLk4wW

Sturridge has now been pushed down to 6th choice striker after that finish from Dier.

England’s defence is in dire need of less Dier. Against top opposition, I really do fear for this back four. Good luck.
