""First 20 minutes were tough," Bellamy said. "It's a very difficult place to come without starting the way we did. "Made it very difficult for ourselves. Their intensity, physicality, they were able to push through that as well. We had to suffer a lot of pain. "Monday, it is a different game. Learn from this. We don't want this feeling again."
"Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka all scored within the first 20 minutes for England, with a stunned Wales offering little in terms of a fightback. Wales improved in the second half, but still only managed 10 attempts overall, with only two of those testing Jordan Pickford, as they finished the match with 0.5 expected goals (xG). By contrast, England accumulated 3.0 xG from their 17 shots, getting five of those on target, while one also hit the crossbar."
