Euro 2020 Friendlies: Marcus Rashford goal breaks deadlock in England vs Romania: England dominated possession in the first half with close to 70% of the ball and hit the crossbar twice through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jadon Sancho.
However, it was England’s young captain Rashford who made the difference on 68 minutes when he converted a penalty after Jack Grealish was fouled in the area.
England had a chance to double their lead on 77 minutes when Calvert-Lewin was fouled in the box. This time, though, Henderson — who hasn’t taken a spot-kick for club or country since 2015 — stepped up to take the penalty and sent it straight into the hands of Nita.
Euro 2020 Friendlies: Netherlands thump Georgia 3-0; Memphis Depay, Wout Weghorst and teenager Ryan Gravenberch scored for the Netherlands on Sunday as they beat Georgia 3-0 in Enschede to record a morale-boosting victory ahead of the European Championship.
Depay tucked away a 10th-minute penalty but Georgia finished the first half stronger as they had more shots on goal and pushed their hosts repeatedly onto the back foot.
The home team resumed command of the game after the break, spurred on by 7,500 spectators, with Weghorst scoring his first international goal as they doubled the lead in the 55th minute.
Gravenberch, who only turned 19 last month, reacted quickest to head home a rebound in the 76th minute for the third goal of the game.
