Manchester United legend Roy Keane says Wales' players were clearly rattled by England in the first-half of last night's friendly defeat.

England won 3-0 at Wembley, with all three goals scored inside the opening 20 minutes. Aston Villa pair Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins, along with Arsenal's Bukayo Saka struck the goals for England.

It was the first time England had scored three goals inside the opening 20 minutes since November 1987 against Yugoslavia.

Keane said in his commentary role: "(Wales) all end up ball watching. They are not competing, it was a poor start with England dominating every aspect, quality and physicality.

"No one is doing their job. They look shellshocked, like a lower league team playing a Premier League team in the FA Cup.

"There are brilliant players like (Bukayo) Saka coming in and running at you, we could make excuses for Wales, but you still have to do the basics right. They have not competed."
