\"\"Harry Maguire achieved a level of England redemption as familiar face Jack Grealish helped put the Republic of Ireland to the sword in a comfortable win at Wembley.<\/p>\n

With Harry Kane rested, Maguire landed the captain\u2019s armband which the 27-year-old appeared to earn when he opened the scoring in the first half.<\/p>\n

Next it was the turn of Jadon Sancho\u2019s, claiming his first international goal in 14 months before a Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty settled a one-sided affair.<\/p>\n

Jude Bellingham also became the third-youngest player in England\u2019s history, the Borussia Dortmund player coming on in the closing stages for his debut at the tender age of 17 years, 136 days.<\/p>\n

Ireland were without a host of regular names due to injury and failed to have a shot on target in the opening 70 minutes, with Stephen Kenny still waiting for his first win in charge.<\/p>\n

Both Grealish and Michael Keane, who represented the Republic of Ireland at youth level, were both included on the English team sheet, as Declan Rice looked on from the stands.<\/p>\n

Grealish has been in fine form for Aston Villa and impressed on his second England start as Southgate gave him another chance to stake his claim for a more regular position in his side.<\/p>\n
