Half-time England 1-0 Andorra The game has followed the pattern you'd expect, with England having over 80 per cent possession and Andorra yet to have a shot on target. They've defended deep and well, though, and England only lead thanks to an own-goal.

Full-time England 2-0 Andorra A win for England thanks to an own-goal and a header from Rice. They dominated so much of the ball, as was always going to be the case, and created more chances after the break. Toughest test next in Serbia on Tuesday.

Difficult to judge players in a game like that, but thought that was a promising debut from Anderson. Madueke bright as well. Player ratings: standard.co.uk/sport/football…

"Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale and ENIC has no intention to accept any such offer to acquire its interest in the club." Two expressions of interest have been rejected - one from Amanda Staveley’s PCP and one from a Chinese consortium. standard.co.uk/sport/football…

Elliot Anderson impressed as a No6 for England on Saturday evening, but a good performance against Andorra tells us very little. Tuchel may be tempted to start Rice there against Serbia, but feels like an opportunity to really test Anderson. Piece: standard.co.uk/sport/football…

Arsenal hoping Ben White could return to the squad this weekend after missing the last two games. Big matches to come this month - Man City and Newcastle - so he won't be rushed if not 100% ready. standard.co.uk/sport/football…

Myles Lewis-Skelly left out of England squad for game with Serbia tonight. England took 24 players to Belgrade, but can only name 23 in squad. Thomas Tuchel confirmed last night everyone was fit. standard.co.uk/sport/football…

Getting Gabriel Martinelli back to his best feels a key issue for Mikel Arteta. Mentioned in here, but do wonder if a shift centrally - especially with Kai Havertz out injured - could be an option right now. standard.co.uk/sport/football…

Remarkable stat: Across England's five World Cup qualifiers under Thomas Tuchel, they have conceded one shot on target. That was against Lativa, in Thomas Tuchel's first game. So since March 24, England have not conceded a shot on target in a World Cup qualifier.

Enjoyed doing this piece and learning about Arsenal's new assistant, Gabriel Heinze. Not hard to see why he and Mikel Arteta get on so well... “He would make them do something over and over until it was exactly the way he wanted.” 👇 standard.co.uk/sport/football…
