Declan Rice, Jack Grealish Goals Vs Ireland: The English duo of Declan Rice and Jack Grealish have become the national villain in the country of Ireland, as they score the 1st nd 2nd goal respectively for England in the Ireland Vs England UEFA Nations League B 2025 Group 2 fixture.
A beautiful ball from Trent Alexander Arnold was criminally miscued by Anthony Gordon, as he missed a golden chance, but the ball was still with England as they regained possession and Harry Kane's attempt was blocked, which resulted in a free shot from centre of the box for Declan Rice, and the Arsenal midfielder thumped his effort into the top right corner.
What followed later was a muted celebration from the former Ireland international, as he refused to celebrate and paid his respect to the home fans, but irrespective of all that, he was still heavily booed.
