Romania didn't have too much joy on the ball and lacked conviction in front of goal.Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson made his much-awaited return from injury in the second half, as he kept things ticking in the center of the park. England made a handful of changes as the game progressed and finally broke the deadlock from the penalty spot, as Rashford made no mistake from six yards after Grealish was brought down inside the box.The Three Lions created a flurry of chances in the last quarter of the game and were awarded another penalty after Calvert-Lewin was on the wrong end of a rash challenge from Vlad Chiriches. Henderson stepped up, but his spot-kick was saved brilliantly by Romania goalkeeper Florin Nita.Debutant Sam Johnstone made an outstanding late save to spare England's blushes, as Southgate and co held on for a narrow victory.On that note, here are five talking points from the game.#5 Tyrone Mings fails to take his chance for EnglandEngland v Romania - International FriendlyTyrome Mings earned his tenth England cap against Romania and started alongside Ben White at the heart of the defense. The Aston Villa man looked sloppy on the ball and was guilty of making a few rash challenges, as he struggled to make an impression.England are sweating over the fitness of Harry Maguire, who faces a race against time to play against Croatia later this week. However, Mings' display proved that even if the Manchester United captain were to miss out, he is unlikely to be named in the starting XI for the Three Lions' Euro 2020 opener.#4 James Ward-Prowse could replace Alexander-Arnold in the 26-man squadEngland v Romania - International FriendlySouthampton captain James Ward-Prowse is coming on the back of an impressive season in the Premier League and showed his class with an assured display in the England midfield.
