It proved to be a particularly memorable evening for Leicester City Academy graduate Chilwell, who after nine years at the Club, made his senior debut for England.
Gareth Southgate handed Maguire a start against Switzerland at King Power Stadium, while Chilwell was introduced late on as the Three Lions recorded a 1-0 friendly win thanks to Marcus Rashford’s close-range finish. Demarai Gray was an unused substitute in the victory.
Evans, meanwhile, also tasted success as Northern Ireland cruised to a 3-0 friendly triumph over Israel at Windsor Park.
Goals from Steven Davis, Stuart Dallas and debutant Gavin Whyte saw Michael O'Neill's men bounce back from their loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League.
Over in U21 European Championships qualifying, Thomas, currently on loan at Scunthorpe United, completed the full game as Wales Under-21s were beaten 2-0 by Portugal Under-21s.
In the same competition, Oldham Athletic loanee Iversen kept a clean sheet to help Denmark Under-21s to a 2-0 victory over Lithuania Under-21s.
Finally, attacker James Maddison was unused from the bench as England Under-21s beat Latvia Under-21s 2-1.
