The last time these two sides met, Greece dismantled England at Wembley to cause a huge upset. Jude Bellingham was not very impressive that day, so he would be looking to get revenge as he was given the nod from the start. That choice was justified when he found Noni Madueke who played in Ollie Watkins to score the opener. The three lions took that lead into half time, but Greece started to look as sharp as they did in London, and England were starting succumb under the pressure. Fortunately, Jude Bellingham was there when his team needed him. After driving forward with the ball, the Madrid man struck the post before the ball hit the back of the goalkeeper and trickled in to double the lead. Not long later, England were three up through Curtis Jones. Greece continued to look impressive going forward, but were ultimately undone by England this time around who walked off the pitch 3-0 winners. Up next: Ireland on Sunday.
