Comments:
This was Gareth Southgate's 90th game as England manager. His first game in charge was a 2-0 win against Malta at Wembley Stadium in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in October 2016. . The Three Lions had now scored more than one goal in each of their last 14 home qualifiers in the UEFA European Championships. . Declan Rice scored in the 76th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
