England fans can't quite believe what ITV commentator Sam Matterface said during the Three Lions' win over Greece.

On Thursday night, Lee Carsley took charge of his penultimate game as interim boss as England got a vital win over Greece in the UEFA Nations League.

The Three Lions came away 3-0 winners at the Athens Olympic Stadium thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins and Curtis Jones plus an own goal by goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.

During the match, ITV Football posted a video of England players playing out from the back, with a caption that read: "This is how to beat a press."

The likes of Jones, Lewis Hall, Conor Gallagher, Anthony Gordon and Marc Guehi were all involved as they played their way through the press from Greece.

But fans were not impressed with the fact that commentator Matterface said in the clip: "They got away with it."

Reacting on social media, one fan said: "Loved this so much. It was met with 'England got away with it' on comms."

Another tweeted: "Did my head in when Matterface said that. Brilliant play out from the back, but we ‘got away with it’ apparently."

A third fan added: "I'm glad someone else picked up on that, literally the best bit of football I've seen from England in years."


However, some fans felt the same way as Matterface.

One said: "They definitely did get away with it as there were a few pretty slack passes in there."

Someone else wrote: "Guehi defo got away with that pass tbf."

Another added: "It was the pass between Guehi and Jones. Very high risk and it was a little short. That wasn't the pass Guehi wanted to do but he got away with it just."

Speaking after scoring on his England debut, Liverpool star Jones said: "The lads around helped as well. I just went out there and I was playing free! I had a smile on my face, I was enjoying it and I'm happy that I came away with a goal.

"When you've got a team like ours, I can go high, I can come low, I can get on the ball and play - there's lads there to help. Jude stayed back, so I had a chance and lucky enough I scored."

England will be back in action this weekend when they take on the Republic of Ireland at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
