00:00Some of England's brightest talents from London clubs made their mark during the international

00:08break, with Rhys James, Miles Lewis-Skelly and Eberiche Ezi all getting on the score

00:15sheet.

00:17Harry Kane also found the net in both matches, but it was these three players who truly caught

00:23the eye of Thomas Tukul.

00:26James making his first England start since September 2022 sees his opportunity in style.

00:33The Chelsea captain who won the Champions League under Thomas Tukul has struggled with

00:39injuries but is now fully fit.

00:41Tukul was full of praise for his former player, saying Rhys is quality at the highest level.

00:48We knew he was in good shape and he proved it.

00:52James capped off a strong performance with a stunning 25-yard free kick, England's first

00:59by a defender at Wembley since 1992.

01:04With Kyle Walker now 34 and his future uncertain, James' performance will have given Tukul plenty

01:10to think about ahead of next year's World Cup.

01:15Teenage Arsenal left-back Miles Lewis-Skelly continued to impress after scoring on his

01:21debut.

01:23Against Latvia, the 18-year-old was lively again, winning the free kick for James' goal

01:28and frequently stepping into midfield alongside club-mate Declan Rice.

01:34They have to adapt.

01:35They come from different cultures, they come from different systems.

01:38Sometimes they play out of position here on the national team, so it's not always so easy.

01:45But the effort and the results and the process has started.

01:49The results are there and it's a good way to continue.

01:54Meanwhile Crystal Palace's Eze made an instant impact after replacing Jarrod Bowen, cutting

02:00in from the left before scoring England's third.

02:04With their club form translating onto the international stage, these London-based stars

02:09have put themselves firmly in Tukul's thoughts for the future.
