Wilson had returned from injury in time to force his way back into Gareth Southgate’s squad for the first time in more than three years, and the 30-year-old – who set up a goal for Jack Grealish in England’s opening game against Iran – was a threat up front as the team pushed for a fourth goal.

And Wilson and his team-mates are now focused on the Round of 16 game against Senegal on Sunday. He tweeted: “Solid team performance tonight knockouts next! Lets gooo.”

Marcus Rashford scored twice, and Phil Foden also found the net, in the Wales game. Wilson – who has scored six Premier League goals so far this season – again replaced England captain Harry Kane in the Group B fixture.
