Lee Carsley began life as interim England manager on Saturday but things got off to an awkward start.

Clearly Carsley’s muscle memory of that time is still strong as he accidentally took up position in the home dugout before kick-off at the Aviva Stadium.

Carsley’s faux-pas was soon overtaken by the Three Lions claiming a 2-0 win in Dublin courtesy of former Irish youth internationals Declan Rice and Jack Grealish.

It just goes to show that it can happen to the best of us!
