Jarrod Bowen had told his dad this "could be my time to score for England" before getting his first Three Lions goal on Sunday. The West Ham forward scored England's fourth in their 5-0 romp over the Republic of Ireland that saw them promoted from their Nations League group.

Jarrod Bowen predicted to his dad that he was going to break his England scoring duck this week. The West Ham forward grabbed England’s fourth goal in their 5-0 romp over the Republic of Ireland, which ended Lee Carsley’s reign as interim boss on a high.

The West Ham United star had only been on the field for 30 seconds when he fired a low shot past Caoimhin Kelleher after being teed up by Jude Bellingham.
