ITV Make Major Blunder Minutes Into England vs Wales

ITV Make Major Blunder Minutes Into England vs Wales

ITV hold broadcasting rights for England friendly matches.

ITV made an unfortunate blunder minutes into the international friendly between England and Wales.

Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions raced into a two-goal lead inside 10 minutes at Wembley through Aston Villa duo Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins.

Both goals came from set pieces, with Wales' defending leaving plenty to be desired particularly for Watkins' close-range finish.

After England won the corner that would result in their second goal, ITV cameras cut to a group of England fans in the crowd, with one holding a replica World Cup trophy.

At the same time, the group were singing an expletive chant towards UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

ITV commentator Sam Matterface did not offer an apology for expletive language, as is usually commonplace on live TV, though it was unclear whether he or co-commentator Lee Dixon heard the chants as they were in the background of the coverage.

Expletive chants were also aimed at Starmer during Sky Sports' coverage of the World Grand Prix darts on Wednesday evening.

The broadcaster aired crowd noise as the chants continued.

And a different chant aimed at Starmer was heard during England's 1-0 win over Andorra in Espanyol back in June.

Tuchel was asked about the chants post-match on that occasion, and told reporters: "If it happened, it's not acceptable. But I didn't hear any offensive songs or chants."

On the pitch at Wembley, England went into the half-time interval 3-0 ahead after a dominant display.


Bukayo Saka curled an effort into the top left corner from 20 yards to extend the Three Lions' lead.

Watkins could have then made it four but the ball bobbled before it reached his foot to tap into an empty net.

The Aston Villa striker then tripped and his knee collided heavily with the post, but he was fortunately able to continue after medical treatment.
