Ivan Perisic played 90 minutes for Croatia as they edged past Armenia 1-0 to move top of their EURO qualification group. In another strong performance, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored the only goal for his side as they managed a 1-0 win away to Finland to bolster their own chances of qualifying for next summer’s tournament.
Wales finally picked up a win and both Brennan Johnson and Ben Davies played a big role in this, with the former playing 87 minutes and Davies managing to play the whole game.
Micky Van de Ven was once again an unused substitute for the Netherlands as they beat the Republic of Ireland 2-1, while Guglielmo Vicario was also overlooked for Italy’s 2-1 win over Ukraine.
Summer signing James Maddison was also left on the bench for England’s 3-1 win over Scotland at Hampden Park.
