England stars targeted by LASERS during Nations League clash against Greece – as Jude Bellingham and Co are spotted with bright green lights on them

England’s stars were targeted by lasers from the Greece crowd during their Nations League clash on Thursday night. 

The Three Lions face a must-win game in Athens, as they look to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat they suffered at home tonight’s hosts and top the group.

And it’s clear the home crowd would do they all could to help ensure Greece took all three points as they targeted the likes of Jude Bellingham with lasers.

The Real Madrid star was running through on goal when bright green lasers could be spotted on him, in an apparent bid to put him off. 

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was also targeted with the lasers during the match.

Despite the best attempts from the home crowd, it didn’t stop England from racing into a 1-0 lead on the night.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins smashed home from close range to give the Three Lions the lead after much debate over his place in the starting line-up.

Despite the magnitude of the match, Carsley has opted to start Ollie Watkins up-front, instead of Three Lions captain Kane, and later explained his decision. 

He said: ‘It was important to give Ollie Watkins the opportunity. To experience a night like this is great for himself. 

‘This team needs to try and create leaders and one way of doing that is giving them an opportunity.

Speaking on Kane, he said; ‘He’s fine. He wants to play. But his attitude has been fantastic since. 

‘It’s important that we give players a chance and I’m sure Ollie will do really well tonight’.

Bellingham was targeted plenty of times by the home crowd during Thursday night’s clash

It didn’t stop the Three Lions from racing into a 1-0 advantage after just six minutes

Carsley can feel justified in his decision after Watkins scored just six minutes into the match. The Aston Villa striker provided a neat finish from close range to open the scoring. 

The build-up to the game has been dominated by discussions around the numerous players who have pulled out of Carsley’s squad, for injury issues and other reasons. 

Kane was quizzed on the situation ahead of the game, and on Wednesday it emerged that he had suggested some of his team-mates had ‘taken advantage’ of a congested club schedule.
