Nick Pope and Kieran Trippier

Friday 23rd SeptemberItaly 1 England 0San Siro

United stopper Pope was handed a start at San Siro by Gareth Southgate, but was beaten by Giacomo Raspadori's strike with just over 20 minutes left on the clock. Trippier, meanwhile, remained on the substitutes' bench for the defeat in Milan.

Monday 26th SeptemberEngland 3 Germany 3Wembley Stadium

Goalkeeper Pope was handed England's number one shirt at Wembley, and had an eventful evening between the posts. He was beaten by Ilkay Gundogan's penalty and Kai Havertz's effort before the hosts fought back to lead thanks to Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Harry Kane's spot kick. But the Magpies man's mistake allowed Havertz to stab home a late leveller for Germany, with teammate Trippier remaining on the bench throughout.

Ryan Fraser

Wednesday 21st SeptemberScotland 3 Ukraine 0Hampden Park

Winger Fraser impressed during his cameo in Scotland's comfortable UEFA Nations League win over Ukraine on Wednesday, recording a pair of assists for Lyndon Dykes' late double.

John McGinn put the hosts ahead in Glasgow before Fraser replaced Stuart Armstrong for the final quarter of an hour, and just four minutes later the Magpies man sent over the corner for Dykes to nod home his side's second of the night.

And with three minutes left, they repeated the routine, with Fraser delivering another corner onto the head of Dykes to make it 3-0 and round off an impressive win.
