Gareth Southgate is bound to have a headache or two in the coming months of his reign as England manager. And no, it will not be caused by the Raheem Sterling-Joe Gomez rift. Mason Mount, Harry Winks and Tammy Abraham were the latest debutants in the England squad. All three have found the net in England's last two Euro 2020 qualifiers. 

Mason Mount

After seeing Derby County agonisingly miss out on promotion to the Premier League, Chelsea's on-loan midfielder Mason Mount returned to the Chelsea fold this season. With former Derby manager Frank Lampard at the helm, Mason Mount has breathed new life into Chelsea's midfield. Mount already has four goals and one assist in 12 appearances in the Premier League this season. It was therefore fitting that Mount netted his first senior goal for England during their 4-0 win over Kosovo in the Euro 2020 qualifiers.

Harry Winks

With Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson out with illness, Gareth Southgate opted to start Harry Winks in midfield alongside Declan Rice. The Tottenham man repaid Gareth Southgate's faith as he got himself on the scoresheet just after the half-hour mark. While Declan Rice appeared to struggle against a physical Kosovo side, Harry Winks regularly played crisp passes throughout the game.

Tammy Abraham

Another of Chelsea's returning loanees, Tammy Abraham has proven to be a handful in the Premier League this season. Abraham already has 10 goals for Chelsea in the 12 games so far this season. Amidst such a run of form, England manager Gareth Southgate decided to bring on the striker in place of Harry Kane during the game against Montenegro. The Chelsea striker repaid Southgate's faith by netting England's seventh goal of the night.

There is enormous talent at England's disposal for the Euros next year. With Marcus Rashford and Tammy Abraham providing cover for Harry Kane, Gareth Southgate has more than able replacements at his disposal. The only remaining questions for Gareth Southgate will be who partners Harry Maguire in defence and what England's midfield needs to look like to provide the service for Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane.
