England draw 0-0 with Ghana as Anthony Gordon fails to impress on left flank
By

Summary
Thomas Tuchel's decision to start Anthony Gordon over Marcus Rashford on the left flank backfired as England drew 0-0 with Ghana at the World Cup. Gordon, who arrived with high expectations after a big-money move to Barcelona, failed to impress for the second consecutive match, looking a shadow of his usual self against modest opposition.
