  • GoalAssist: Ollie Watkins. "Good work from [Ollie Watkins] as he pulls the ball back close to the byeline, Jude Bellingham, 20 yards out, runs on to the pass and sidefoots a powerful shot at goal. Greece goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos gets an arm to it, but can't keep it out. England, with only their second shot on target, are level."Jude Bellingham6th of 6 goals.

England Starting Formation

    4-1-1-4 England started with no recognised striker. It would be better to describe the formation 4-1-1-4-0. Both Foden and Bellingham were in advanced midfield positions with Gordon and Saka on the wings. When Watkins came on England switched to a 4-1-1-3-1 with Bellingham ahead of Rice in midfield, Madueke switching flanks and Palmer going to the right wing. On Solanke's introduction they switched to a 4-1-1-2-2 with two centre forwards.

Notes

  • Greeks GiftedThe Greeks had the ball in the net a further three times [10:19], [58:53] & [82:26] but each one was ruled out by VAR for offside. Ironically, their two legitimate goals were from box play rather than the myriad of long ball two-on-two, three-on-two chances they were gifted from England's agressive attacking formation. They also had a chance cleared off the line by Colwill [9:27].
