England defeated the Republic of Ireland 5-0 at Wembley on Sunday evening.

Everton shot-stopper Jordan Pickford starred in England’s thumping victory, as five different players got on the scoresheet.

Harry Kane, Anthony Gordon, Conor Gallagher, Jarrod Bowen and Taylor Harwood-Bellis all netted for The Three Lions.

It ended a short but sweet reign for Lee Carsley, who will now return to work with the under-21s set-up, with Thomas Tuchel taking over in January.

Pickford, who’s been a key figure under Carsley, reacted to his England departure on Instagram after the game.

Everton shot-stopper Jordan Pickford took to Instagram after the Wembley win to hail Carsley and his staff for the last two camps, which he admitted were ‘class’.

The 30-year-old wrote: “Great win to sign off 2024 @england, boshhh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Thank you for all your support this year through thick and thin!

“Been class to work with the gaffer & the staff over the last two camps. Now we move onto a new era in 2025.”

Pickford continued his good form for Everton into an England shirt this month, as he picked up back-to-back clean sheets against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.

Now, attention turns back towards The Toffees.
