England destroy Iran in World Cup 2022 opener as Bukayo Saka shines
The Daily Mirror says England kicked off their 2022 World Cup campaign with a 6-2 demolition of Iran.
Gareth Southgate’s men arrived in Qatar without a win in six games and having struggled for form in 2022. But they took Carlos Queiroz’s side to pieces in Doha, with Arsenal whizkid Bukayo Saka and Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham the Iranians’ tormentors-in-chief.
England had opened the 2018 World Cup by scoring six times as they put Panama to the sword, but they were better here, playing with panache, dominating possession throughout and creating plenty of chances.
