The England national team started their performance in the World Cup successfully on Monday.
Gareth Southgate's players easily dealt with the Iranian footballers with a score of 6:2.
Despite the successful performance, the coach of the England national team emphasized after the match that his players will have to play even better in the remaining group matches.
"We are very happy to start the championship this way. We knew it would be tough to score against Iran, but our attacking players showed their class today.
Conceding two goals at the end was definitely not what we wanted. We will have to play even better in the next matches. We definitely can't think about the next stage yet," - G. Southgate said after the victory.
