Two goals in four minutes from Nikola Vlasic and Bruno Petkovic settled the hosts’ nerves near the hour mark, before Ivan Perisic sealed the victory with a spectacular finish, volleying into the top corner on the stretch with 15 minutes to play.

Things were more forthright for Germany in Mönchengladbach, where the hosts shattered Belarus 4-0. Matthias Ginter’s back-heeled finish from Serge Gnabry’s cross gave Germany a half-time lead, and Leon Goretzka doubled their benefit shortly after the break, rifling a low shot home from a short corner.

Midfielder Toni Kroos then stole the show with two fine goals as Joachim Löw’s side sealed qualification from Group C.

The Real Madrid midfielder side-footed home clinically from the edge of the area on 55 minutes and added a second late on after twisting beyond two defenders. Manuel Neuer repudiated Belarus a comfort from the penalty spot, tilting Ihar Stasevich’s effort round the post.

Austria position

Austria protected a top-two finish in Group G with a 2-1 victory over North Macedonia in Vienna. Stefan Lainer was the star man for the hosts, the Gladbach right-back setting up David Alaba with a terrific through ball after seven minutes, then bundling home a second from a corner early in the second half.

Despite Vlatko Stojanovski’s late consolation, Franco Foda’s side held on to ensure their place at the finals. In other games, already-qualified Poland beat Israel 2-1 in Jerusalem.

Robert Lewandowski was on the substitutes’ bench for the first hour, with Grzegorz Krychowiak and Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek getting the goals in his absence.

Eden Hazard scored twice after his brother, Thorgan, had put Roberto Martínez’s side ahead. Romelu Lukaku added a fourth, smashing the ball home from the edge of the area before Georgiy Dzhikija scored for the hosts.

The group whipping boys, San Marino, remain without a point after losing 3-1 at home to Kazakhstan, but they scored their first goal of the campaign through Filippo Berardi, whose cool finish on the break flashed scenes of joy in Serravalle.

Who should play as an attacking midfielder for England at Euro 2020?

While the FA works out whether England will play their scheduled friendlies beside Italy and Denmark later this month or in the continent-wide Euro 2020 in the summer, Gareth Southgate aspects a few great decisions of his individual.

The England manager is sweltering on the capability of forwards Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford, but he has no such apprehensions when it comes to attacking midfielders. Euro Cup fans can purchase England Euro Cup Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli started for England in the World Cup semi-final in 2018, but Alli is clingy on to his place in the team and Lingard will almost certainly miss out. Southgate is facing a puzzle: who should come into the team and who should start in that slot behind the forwards?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Liverpool

Oxlade-Chamberlain is not the first choice at the club level but Southgate is a big follower, mainly in light of the tactical adaptability that he offers to the side.

The 26-year-old, who has missed the earlier three major tournaments through the wound, should pick up enough minutes before the end of the term to cut. 

Ross Barkley, Chelsea

Ross Barkley is a striking form at just the right time and is another Southgate favorite. He made six appearances in the Euro 2020 qualifiers and had a hand in seven goals, counting four and setting up three more.

His supports in Bulgaria and Montenegro meant that Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane were the only England players who scored more often in qualifying. Barkley has also been outstanding for Chelsea recently.

He has counted two goals and set up four more in his last seven national starts. His experience at the international level will likely earn him a place in the team.

James Maddison, Leicester City

Maddison made his England entrance in November when he came on for Oxlade-Chamberlain in a 7–0 victory over Montenegro in qualifying.

At the time, he was a frontrunner for the playmaker role in the squad but his form has dipped badly in the last few months. He has not counted or set up a goal in his previous 11 matches in all competitions for Leicester.

 However, his inspiration and ability over a dead ball will stand him in good stead. No Englishman has more key passes in the Premier League this term.

Jack Grealish, Aston Villa

Jack Grealish offers something diverse to the rest of the players on this list, but he has still not gained an England cap. He has not even been called into a team before, with Southgate seemingly unsure where the Villa captain would fit into the side.

His form has been inspiring this season, counting seven goals and laying on six assists for a squad in the relegation zone. Only Kevin De Bruyne has shaped more chances from open play in the Premier League.

 Grealish carries the ball remarkably well and draws more fouls than you can count in most competitions but, given Southgate’s previous reticence, the 24-year-old remains an outside bet.

Mason Mount, Chelsea

Mason Mount finally finished his three-month, 18-game wait for a goal at the weekend when he opened the counting for Chelsea in their 4-0 thrashing of Everton.

His return to the scoresheet could be energetic. Mount does not have Maddison’s creativity or Grealish’s drooling ability but instead relies on his intelligent movement to pick up goal-scoring positions.

At 21, his potential is superb, but he needs to finish the term as strongly as he started it to make the squad. One thing for sure is that Chelsea’s match against Villa this weekend will be huge for the hopefuls involved.

Deschamp insisted in November that Martial had not been forgotten about, saying: He came back from injury not so long ago and it is going well in his role as a central striker with Manchester United. For a long time, he is being part of the players likely to be called up. 

Martial opened the scoring for Manchester United in their 2-0 win over rivals Manchester City on Sunday, and he took his goal tally to 16 for the season after four strikes in his last six.

The 24-year-old stimulated to Manchester United for £36million in 2015 and instantly tipped as a star of the future, but has been unpredictable throughout his five terms at Old Trafford, which might have run to his absenteeism from the France team.

He has 64 goals in total during 208 appearances for the club and has gained three trophies, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the Europa League.

For France he has picked up 18 caps, counting just once in 2016, and was included in the team that reached the final of Euro 2016 in his home state, before they were beaten to the grand prize by Portugal.

Kepa next move with doubts about his role at Spain Euro 2020 team

These are the growing number of problems Chelsea are currently facing, and it was revealing that in the aftermath of Monday night's defeat against Manchester United, there was no mention of Willy Caballero starting in place of Kepa Arrizabalaga between posts.

Frank replied questions about the Champions League race, another home defeat, his team's struggles, Michy Batshuayi's fragile confidence and why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got the better of him three times. Fans can buy Spain Euro Cup Tickets online.

Kepa next move with doubts about his role at Spain Euro 2020 team

But there was no mention of his decision to continue with a 38-year-old veteran instead of the most expensive goalkeeper in the world.

"Kepa's reaction was as good as I hoped," Lampard said before explaining that he had already decided who would start against United. It seemed at that time that he would return to the 72 million pound man.

Dropping Kepa for the Leicester City visit earlier this month was one thing; leaving him here after a winter break in which the head coach said he was impressed with his reaction to training was another matter entirely.

Beyond Chelsea, Monday was also felt to be an important night for the weakening claim of the 25-year-old to be Spain's first goalkeeper as he looked at his compatriot from the other side, David De Gea, keep a clean sheet.

It seems unlikely that he will be the number 1 Spanish to come to the European Championship if he remains out of favor at Stamford Bridge.

Those watching closely from Kepa's home country were puzzled by Lampard's ruthless decision, but Caballero, who is out of contract in four months and has yet to decide whether to retire, now seems certain of continue between posts for the visit to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

And yet Caballero was hardly exceptional. He walked for Leicester's second goal, even if Lampard wouldn't challenge him, and against United, his only stop came from Odion Ighalo in the dying embers after conceding two headers while being saved by its woodwork.

So where's Kepa going from here? As Lampard said last Friday, his coaching performance was essential and his transfer fees and age were irrelevant to selection decisions. But all the evidence suggested that he had reacted well since his return from the winter holidays.

Should he now wait for Caballero to do something wrong before he has another chance? Such an approach is rather dangerous for a team that is in the middle of a race that defines the season.

And despite Lampard's insistence that costs and Kepa's comparative youth don't matter, it's a little annoying to have such an expensive asset on the bench instead of a veteran who could end up hanging up his gloves in a few weeks.
