7' CHANCE! Shaqiri's shot off the post

INCHES WIDE! England are all out of sorts suddenly! Butland makes a mess of a pass out from the back, but is bailed out by Maguire, and then moments later Dier inexplicably gets caught in possession, gifting Shaqiri a break, but the Liverpool man puts his effort wide of the near post!

32' SAVE! Gavranovic's shot saved by Butland

38' SHOT! Rose's shot saved

BEATEN AWAY SMARTLY! The tempo is picking up now, and England awake after a bit of a slumber to hit back on the counter. Welbeck rolls a delivery across the face of goal where it's met by Rose, but Sommer manages to parry the tight-angle shot.

43' CHANCE! Loftus-Cheek's shot saved by Sommer

Sommer is called into action again, but once more it's nothing to really trouble him, as Loftus-Cheek's deflected effort bounces safely into his arms.

54' GOAL! England 1-0 Switzerland (Rashford)

AND THERE'S THE OPENER! England lead 1-0! Rashford opens the scoring for a second successive match for the Three Lions, and he couldn't have asked for a much easier goal, left all alone to turn in Walker's cross at the far post!

90' WHAT A CHANCE! Ajeti's shot over the bar

Match Report

Marcus Rashford scored in consecutive matches for the first time in his international career as England returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in Leicester.

Manchester United forward Rashford gave the Three Lions an early lead at home to Spain on Saturday before they fell to a 2-1 Nations League defeat.

He was one of only two players to keep their place as Gareth Southgate shuffled his pack at the King Power Stadium and a disjointed first-half showing followed.

There was a marked improvement in the second period, with Rashford on hand to halt a run of three consecutive defeats for the World Cup semi-finalists.
