Lee Carsley gets off to a winning start with Declan Rice and Jack Grealish on target.
In Lee Carsley's first game as manager, England defeated Republic of Ireland 2-0 thanks to goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish; Angel Gomes and Morgan Gibbs-White earned their debuts off the bench.
In their Nations League opening against Republic of Ireland, Declan Rice and Jack Grealish goals gave Lee Carsley, the acting England manager, a winning start.
In the opening fifteen minutes of play, Rice and Grealish responded to the jeers of the home supporters at the Aviva Stadium by switching allegiance from Ireland to England during their childhood.

When Grealish, who was left off of the England squad for Euro 2024, returned to the team, he celebrated his goal—which he hammered home from the center of the box—while Rice chose not to celebrate. Rice's goal completed a brilliant move by England.
England's first-half performance should inspire supporters hoping to see a more offensive approach than under Gareth Southgate, with Trent Alexander-Arnold leading the way at right-back and Harry Kane and the excellent Anthony Gordon also coming close.
However, Ireland, starting a new chapter in their own history under new manager Heimir Hallgrimsson, showed improvement following the lopsided first half. Sammie Szmodics missed a good opportunity after the interval after Chiedozie Ogbene had put him up.
After the break, England lost its flow but still had opportunities to increase their lead. In stoppage time, Bukayo Saka was denied by Caoimhin Kelleher, and by then, Carsley had also given senior debuts to Angel Gomes and Morgan Gibbs-White, who came on as substitutes.
Ultimately, though, the two-goal lead was enough to let England, who had finished last in League A in the previous tournament, start the post-Southgate era with a victory that now places them atop Nations League Group B2.
