Anthony Gordon insisted England’s 2-0 victory over Israel in the group stage is in the past and called for a fresh approach going into the tie.“The group stage games now don’t really matter,” Gordon said. “It doesn’t matter how we played against them or how we beat them. “They played really well against Georgia and won the game ultimately so it’s win or go home and hopefully we can put on another good performance and win the game.” Morgan Gibbs-White reiterated that message by highlighting Israel’s hunger to seek revenge after goals from Gordon and Emile Smith Rowe firmed England’s bid to qualify from Group C.

[Israel] are even more hungry now they are in the semi-final. They are going to want revenge,” Gibbs-White said. “We beat them in the group stage and now they are going to want to beat us, so we have got to make sure we are fully prepared, well rested, fully recovered and hopefully we can go again and get to the final.”
