It was the night when Lee Carsley dropped Harry Kane and came up smelling of roses, this a result not only to avenge the shapeless 2-1 Wembley defeat against Greece in October but to put England on the verge of automatic promotion back into the Nations League’s A section.
It is difficult to remember Kane ever being axed for an England game, let alone a must-win big one – rather than rested or rotated. And it was especially bold from Carsley given he was without a host of big names.
