The game was played in the sweltering heat of Wembley Stadium, but England showed no signs of fatigue. They were the better team from the start and completely outplayed the Irish.

The Republic of Ireland were well beaten and never really threatened the England goal. They will need to improve significantly if they are to have any chance of qualifying for the World Cup.
