England vs Costa Rica World Cup 2018 warm up as it happened

England 2-0 Costa Rica: Follow all the action in the Three Lions' final warm-up game at Elland Road

England v Costa Rica preview

Gareth Southgate will get a final opportunity to see his England stars in action against Costa Rica before they travel to Russia for the start of the World Cup 2018.

The Three Lions boss is expected to shuffle the pack after watching his side beat Nigeria 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday, with Jack Butland to be given a chance to prove himself as Jordan Pickford’s understudy for the tournament.

Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold will both start after arriving late to the training camp following the Champions League final, while there could also be opportunities for Jamie Vardy, Harry Maguire and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Danny Rose could also get a start in place of Ashley Young following his revelations about his depression this week.

GOAL! England 1-0 Costa Rica (Rashford 13')

Marcus Rashford scores with an absolute rocket into the top corner, from 25 yards out past a helpless Keylor Navas. How about that for a statement of intent 11 days from the World Cup?

16 mins: Ruben Loftus-Cheek leaves a couple of Costa Rican players in his wake after an impressive start to the game, and the Chelsea midfielder has shown plenty of attacking intent with less than 20 minutes on the clock

Here's the opener from Marcus Rashford...

20 mins: SAVE! Keylor Navas rescues Costa Rica again as he spreads himself to prevent Jamie Vardy from adding a second from close range

[7 June 2018 20:26 · Molly Hudson]

24 mins: A couple of moments ago Costa Rica won a free kick just outside the England half. A couple of passes backwards and England retained possession.

Not a good start from the visitors, who look devoid of attacking intent.

27 mins: Johan Venegas forces a decent save from Jack Butland in the England goal, his first action of the half.

The rare foray forward from Costa Rica stemmed from John Stones attempting to win the ball high up the pitch and finding himself out of position as the visitors surged forward.

30 mins: Navas earns his second foul of the evening from an England free kick - Southgate has clearly pinpointed set pieces as an opportunity to pressure the 6ft 1" shot-stopper, but as of yet Navas is holding firm

[7 June 2018 20:37 · Molly Hudson]

35 mins: Loftus-Cheek does well to break up a Costa Rica attack from Joel Campbell, and breaks forward, again combining well with Marcus Rashford.

Their combination play is carving through the Costa Rica attack with ease.

39 mins: Harry Maguire has looked as impressive as anyone in the Costa Rican box, as another corner is directed towards him, but his lay off is too strong for Marcus Rashford who is unable to control it.

England looking dominant at both ends of the pitch so far

44 mins: As we approach half-time England continue to look confident on the ball, as Costa Rica's biggest attacking threat Joel Campbell cuts an isolated figure in a front line lacking creativity
