International round-up: Lanzini & Arnautovic net while Rice named Man of the Match

Lanzini celebrates scoring for Argentina

West Ham United's Manuel Lanzini and Marko Arnautovic scored for Argentina and Austria respectively while Declan Rice was named Republic of Ireland's Man of the Match on his debut in Friday's internationals.

Lanzini was included in Argentina's starting XI for the contest with Italy, marking his second start for the nation while also earning the playmaker his third cap. 

The 25-year-old, who played the full 90 minutes of the match, secured the win for his side on 85 minutes with his first international goal, striking home a powerful effort from the edge of the penalty area. 

Elsewhere, Arnautovic continued his fine goalscoring form with two goals for Austria in their 3-0 victory against Slovenia. The forward, who has scored seven goals for the Irons this campaign, got off the mark on 36 minutes after David Alaba had opened the scoring twenty minutes earlier.

Arnautovic then got his second just six minutes into the second period with a looping header, taking the 28-year-old onto 18 international goals for his nation. The Hammers No7 was substituted with four minutes remaining of the contest.

Rice was named in the Republic of Ireland's starting XI for the first time on Friday for the friendly with Turkey, marking his first appearance for the senior side.

The 19-year-old played the full 90 minutes of the contest, which Rice and his teammates lost due to a Mehmet Topal goal on 52 minutes, and was rewarded for his excellent efforts with the Republic of Ireland Man of the Match award. 

Winning a full senior cap and the individual acknowledgement marks the end to a fantastic week at international level for Rice, who was also named the Republic of Ireland's U19 International Player of the Year on Sunday.

Loanee Joao Mario was included in Portugal's starting XI for the friendly fixture with Egypt. The midfielder was substituted just after an hour, being replaced by Ricardo Quaresma, after Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah scored the opening goal of the contest for the away side.

However two late goals netted by Cristiano Ronaldo, coming in the 90+3 and 90+6 minutes, earned Mario's Portugal a comeback 2-1 win at Letzigrund in Zürich, Switzerland.

Youngster Sead Haksabanovic was a 65th minute substitute for Montenegro in their 0-0 draw away to Cyprus. The 18-year-old, earning his third cap for the Montenegro national team, came on for Damir Kojasevic in the draw as one of six players to be substituted on for the away side.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart was an unused substitute for England in the 1-0 away victory against Holland. The experienced shot-stopper watched from the bench as the Three Lions claimed the win, thanks to a Jesse Lingard strike, while Everton's Joe Pickford played between the sticks for Gareth Southgate's team. 

Hart is one of four goalkeepers named in the England squad for this week's friendlies and will be hoping to get a showing in Tuesday's friendly with Italy.

Coincidentally, Hammers defender Angelo Ogbonna was on the bench for Italy on Friday as they fell to Lanzini's Argentina, but didn't make It onto the pitch and will be looking to play Hart's England in the same game next week.

Elsewhere, Chicharito was also an unused substitute for Mexico in their 3-0 win over Iceland. The striker is just one appearance away from reaching 100 caps for his national side, but watched from the sidelines as goals from Marco Fabian and Miguel Layun earned the win for El Tri.

Meanwhile, Cheikhou Kouyate was not a named player for Senegal in their 1-1 draw with Uzbekistan. The midfielder, who is the current Senegalese captain, watched from the stands as his side came from a goal behind to draw in Friday's contest.
