The Newcastle United striker unselfishly set up a goal for Jack Grealish just 13 minutes into his first international game in more than three years today as England convincingly beat Iran 6-2 in Doha, Qatar.

And club-mate Kieran Trippier also put in an assured 90-minute performance at the Khalifa International Stadium.

Fans were quick to praise Wilson while also taking the chance to rib Grealish after his Miguel Almiron jibe last summer.
