England kicked off their World Cup preparations with a 2-1 friendly win over Nigeria.

Gareth Southgate’s side swept into a two-goal lead as Gary Cahill and captain Harry Kane netted in a dominant first-half display at Wembley on Saturday.

But that encouraging opening was marred by a lethargic effort from England after the interval.

Alex Iwobi reduced the deficit for Nigeria, who came close to equalising after exposing the flaws in Southgate’s three-man defence by repeatedly attacking down the flanks.
