British fans praised Reese James after the Chelsea star faced Latvia with a stunning free kick.
However, if Vladislavs Gutkovskis did not blow up a big opportunity in the moment, the visitors could have easily been ahead.
The Latvian forward was given a great opportunity following a defensive blunder between Jordan Pickford and Mark Guech. Guehi tried to protect the ball for Pickford as England tried to play from behind, but under pressure from Gutkovskis, he misunderstood.

The Crystal Palace defender’s touch sent the ball past Pickford running around Pickford, rolling charmingly towards the big jeon Hana citizen striker.
With his goal of mercy from a close angle, Gatkowskis sought it for the first time and shattered his efforts into the side net. Wembley sighed collective relief as the ball began to ripple on the wrong side of the post.
ITV commentator Lee Dixon called it a “sitter” and also kept the fans on social media.
A few minutes later, the UK paid Latvia. James stepped up, curling a sensational free kick into the top corner, sending the home crowd into the wild, and changing momentum firmly in the courtesy of the British.
Complete the cheating to have Reece James and don’t let him cross or overlap or even become a fullback.
What a soccer player.

Reese James and Luke Shaw are on the same branches, and when they are fit but unfortunately very prone to getting injured, the best two in their positions are
