England started their Euro 2024 preparation campaign on a positive note, securing a 3-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina at St James' Park. The match saw standout performances from players like Eberechi Eze, Cole Palmer, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrod Bowen, and James Maddison, as they look to cement their spots in the final squad selected by manager Gareth Southgate.

Cole Palmer opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 60th minute after Ezri Konsa was brought down in the box. Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold doubled the lead with a precise finish, followed by captain Harry Kane adding a third goal late in the game.

The England side featured a mix of established and upcoming talents, with notable players like Jude Bellingham missing from the lineup. This match served as a crucial opportunity for Southgate to assess his options before finalizing the squad for the Euros.

Key performers on the night included Palmer, who scored his debut England goal, and Alexander-Arnold, who showcased his attacking prowess from midfield. However, players like Bowen and Maddison face uncertainty as they await Southgate’s decision on the final squad selection.

England’s next friendly against Iceland at Wembley will offer another chance for players to impress before the deadline for squad submissions. With the Euros fast approaching, the competition for spots in the English national team is heating up.
