"...Mehdi Taremi lashed home after the substitute, Ali Gholizadeh, had played him in behind Maguire." Mehdi Taremi, 65'64:33
"At the very end, Jordan Pickford tipped a blast from another replacement, Sardar Azmoun, against the crossbar and there would be a harsh VAR-dictated penalty for Iran when John Stones pulled Taremi’s shirt. After the early non-award for Maguire, it was baffling. England had the luxury of Taremi’s conversion not hurting." Mehdi Taremi, 90'102:30 +13 (pen)

Player InjuriesA total of 24 minutes were added. 14 in the first half and 10 in the second. Whilst coming out to try and collect a Kane cross, Beiranvand collides with Mohammadi [7:15] breaking his nose. He receives lengthy treatment on the field for over 7 minutes and tries to continue with a goal kick [15:38]. A minute later [16:18] he cannot continue and is substituted by Hossein Hosseini. Becasue of concussion protocols Iran are permitted to make six substitutions in the game.
Just after Iran's first goal Maguire also goes through concussion protocols after seeing double [64:40] and has to be replaced by Dier.
Rashford GoalMarcus Rashford had been on the pitch 51 seconds before scoring.
Penalty: Mehdi TaremiA free kick on the right [98:59] is punched out by Pickford but before the play could be restarted there is a lengthy VAR check for a penalty. Raphael Claus goes to the referees monitor and awards the penalty [101:06] for a shirt pull by Stones on Taremi.
