England fans filled social media with excitement after the team’s 3–0 win over Wales at Wembley. Softfootball reported that the match was decided early, as Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka all found the net within the first 20 minutes, leaving little doubt about England’s dominance.
Many fans focused on the fast start, pointing out how England wasted no time asserting control, and this was in accordance with the expectation of manager Thomas Tuchel before the match. One supporter, Emmanuel Peters, via his X account, captured the moment, hailing Morgan Rogers as he scored his first senior England goal after just three minutes.
He tweeted:
Morgan Rogers scores his first senior England goal after just three minutes against Wales tonight
It reflected the mood of many who saw the game as a confident statement ahead of tougher challenges to come. Saka’s curling strike from the edge of the box was another talking point, praised as the highlight of the night. A fan, Catherine, via her X account, described it as a moment of individual brilliance that summed up England’s control of the game.
She wrote:
Wow, Saka looks unstoppable! That goal against Wales was pure brilliance—England’s star shining bright!
While another fan, Nicole, also added further admiration for the Arsenal fan on her X account,

SAKA WITH A ROCKET England in total domination mode Wales can’t breathe!
But not everyone was carried away by the win. A fan, James Beck, remarked on his X handle using the result to highlight deeper issues in the squad, particularly in defence, pointing to concerns that England’s backline still lacks the solidity needed for top-level competition.
He Observed:
Celebrating a England win against Wales then remembering that their defence is basically Leeds
There were also mixed feelings about the importance of the friendly itself. A user, David Groom, argued it offered little value so close to major qualifiers, remarking that even the fans didn’t take the game seriously.
He acclaimed:
Maybe dont play meaningless friendlies in October!? Its a big game for Wales, so they sing hard – but England know they will win with ease and the crowd is Dads and kids.
Beyond the football, many praised the emotional tribute to dementia awareness before kickoff, calling it a meaningful gesture that gave the night extra significance as the players walked out for kickoff with elderly men and women facing the health challenge. As a fan, Giulia Bould put it on her X account. It was probably the biggest win of the night.
