Occasional Digest - a story for you

View from SunSport’s Dave Kidd in Riga

England’s fans are having a proper pop at Thomas Tuchel after he criticised the Wembley atmosphere during the Wales friendly on Thursday. 

Tunes include: “Our support is f***ing s**t”. “Thomas Tuchel, we’ll sing when we want.” And “Are we loud enough for you?”

There is also a predictable ping for Gary Neville who is accused of one-in-a-bed romps.

17. England come piling forward once again.

Once the ball is lost, Latvia look to hit the visitors on the counter.

Lewis-Skelly with a blatant tug back to prevent that from happening and is shown a yellow card as a result.

15. Gordon rolls the ball into the path of Lewis-Skelly.

He looks to get a first-time cross in but the delivery is poor.

The cross heads straight out for a goal-kick, who he was aiming for only he will know.

13. Saka picks the ball up wide in the penalty area.

He looks to fashion a shooting chance but three players crowd him out.

The winger plays a lofted pass into Lewis-Skelly but as he pulls it out of the air, Latvia step in to win it.

11. Saka checks onto his left-foot and tries a shot from distance.

It is well blocked by a sliding challenge from the defender.

Moments later Anderson tries a half-volley from just outside the box but he shanks it high and wide of the goal.

9. Kane will regard that one as a bad miss.

It was great play from Gordon and the Bayern striker had all the time in the world to pick his spot.

His volley had the keeper beaten but was the wrong side of the post.
