    'VERY, VERY GOOD' - TUCHEL PRAISE FOR ANDERSON
    When asked about Elliot Anderson's performance post-game, Thomas Tuchel had glowing reviews.
    "Very good, very very good," Tuchel said. "He was a bit nervous this week but then did good and we said let's try it and he did it. That was the test and I think he passed the test.
    "Why should he not play in Serbia [on Tuesday]?"

    'WE KNEW WHAT TYPE OF GAME IT WAS GOING TO BE'
    Speaking to ITV after the match, Noni Madueke said: "First and foremost, it is good to get the win and a clean sheet. Of course, we knew what type of game it was going to be.
    "The team won, so I am happy.
    "He [Thomas Tuchel] wants us to be direct. That was a great example of it [England's second goal]."

    'I SHOULD'VE SCORED' SAYS ANDERSON
    When asked about his performance after the game, Elliot Anderson was pleased with the 90 minutes but would have loved to have topped it off with a goal.
    "I should've scored to be honest so next time hopefully," he said. "It's a World Cup qualifier, so all that matters is the three points."
    FOUR WINS FROM FOUR FOR ENGLAND
    The Three Lions extended their lead at the top of Group K with a 2-0 win over Andorra at Villa Park.
    An own goal from Christian Garcia in the first half and a Declan Rice header in the second were all to separate the two sides on Saturday.
    England finished the match with a total of 83% possession but despite dominating the ball, they struggled to find goals.
    Noni Madueke lit up the right-wing and caused the away side all kinds of problems. Elliot Anderson played a full 90 minutes on his debut and impressed.
    England now face Serbia on Tuesday, while Andorra will travel to Estonia.
