The England stars were the targets of lasers fired by the Greece fans during Thursday night’s Nations League match.

In order to recover from their 2-1 loss at home to tonight’s hosts and secure first place in their group, the Three Lions will need to win their match in Athens.

The home fans clearly wanted to assist Greece win the match by directing lasers at players like Jude Bellingham.

Apparently in an effort to deter the Real Madrid player, he was being targeted by brilliant green lasers as he ran through on goal.

During the play, the lasers also targeted England goalie Jordan Pickford.

Despite the best attempts from the home crowd, it didn’t stop England from racing into a 1-0 lead on the night.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins smashed home from close range to give the Three Lions the lead after much debate over his place in the starting line-up.

Despite the magnitude of the match, Carsley has opted to start Ollie Watkins up-front, instead of Three Lions captain Kane, and later explained his decision.

He said: ‘It was important to give Ollie Watkins the opportunity. To experience a night like this is great for himself.

‘This team needs to try and create leaders and one way of doing that is giving them an opportunity.

Speaking on Kane, he said; ‘He’s fine. He wants to play. But his attitude has been fantastic since.

‘It’s important that we give players a chance and I’m sure Ollie will do really well tonight’.

It didn’t stop the Three Lions from racing into a 1-0 advantage after just six minutes

Carsley can feel justified in his decision after Watkins scored just six minutes into the match. The Aston Villa striker provided a neat finish from close range to open the scoring.

The build-up to the game has been dominated by discussions around the numerous players who have pulled out of Carsley’s squad, for injury issues and other reasons.

Kane was quizzed on the situation ahead of the game, and on Wednesday it emerged that he had suggested some of his team-mates had ‘taken advantage’ of a congested club schedule.
