Roy Keane compared Reece James to an England legend after his stunning free kick against Latvia in the World Cup qualifier on Monday night (24 March).

The Chelsea right-back used his left foot to magnificently curl the ball into the top right corner to put England 1-0 up, after Lewis-Skelly won a free kick 25 years out.
