New Zealand push England in narrow 1–0 World Cup warm-up

England edged New Zealand 1–0 in Saturday's World Cup warm-up friendly at Wembley, with Anthony Gordon's goal settling a contest that gave Thomas Tuchel plenty to think about. The England manager called the performance "excellent" but the narrow scoreline against the All Whites suggests your side pushed one of the tournament favourites all the way (1). Attention now turns to the World Cup itself, where New Zealand can take quiet confidence from a display that kept England's attack largely in check.
