England forward Bukayo Saka netted a stunning goal in England’s 3-0 win over Wales at the Wembley Stadium on Thursday in a friendly encounter between the sides as head coach Thomas Tuchel extended his winning-run at the helm of the Three Lions.

Tuchel was in awe of the Arsenal forward’s incredible curler that put England three-up within 20 minutes of the beginning of the game.

Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Saka found the back of the net for England in the win, as Jordan Pickford logged his eighth straight clean sheet for the Three Lions.

Despite their opportunity to extend the lead in the reminder of the game, English fans fell rather silent after the game was put to bed and head coach Tuchel urged fans to get behind the side for the entirety of the game going forward.

“I love English football fans and the support they give. But the atmosphere did not match the performance on the field today,” Tuchel said.

“We couldn’t score the fourth one or the fifth one — the stadium was silent. Silent,” he opined.

“We never got any energy back from the fans and I think the players delivered a lot to get more from the stands,” the German said.

“Yes. What more can you give than 20 minutes, three goals and the way we attacked Wales.”

“If you then hear for half an hour just the Wales fans, it’s a bit sad because I think the team deserved big support today,” Tuchel said.

“We were 3-0 up after 20 minutes, we had ball win after ball win and I felt, ‘why is the roof still on the stadium?'” he said.

‘Why is the roof not off the stadium? I was a little underwhelmed,’ the 52-year-old added.
