England 3 Germany 3 LIVE SCORE: Havertz’s late equaliser spoils incredible comeback as rollercoaster match ends level


ENGLAND concluded their World Cup preparations with a rollercoaster of a match against Germany.

Goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Kai Havertz saw Hansi Flick’s men race to a 2-0 lead.

But Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and captain Harry Kane inspired the Three Lions to an incredible comeback.

However, a howler from Nick Pope presented Havertz with his second of the evening, forcing Southgate’s side to settle for a draw at Wembley.

  • That’s all from Wembley Stadium

    After a sloppy start, England came back from behind in a whirlwind second half to cap off an underwhelming Nations League campaign.

    It also marks the end of World Cup preparations as the Three Lions’ next scheduled match will see them face Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar.

    Gareth Southgate has some serious decisions to make before then with every man fighting for a place in the squad.

    Thank you for reading, and goodnight!

  • Gareth Southgate reacts

    When speaking to Channel 4, the England boss said:

    “To an extent we are always going to face pressure so we need to be exposed to pressure.

    “We played a friendly against Ivory Coast in March and they went to 10 men and it became a non-event and we learnt nothing.

    “This week we’ve learnt a huge amount. They’ve had to step forward and come together – it will benefit us in the long run.”

    On the penalty Maguire gave away: “It is hard to tell from the side, it is the giving away of possession that is the problem, but look as a group they have really come together this week.

    “It has been a tough period for team but they have grown.”

    “There are a lot of positives we can take from the game, but some negatives too that we will have to address. It was positive that we came back again at the end. It was a good test.”

  • Point to prove

    England are winless in their last six games in all competitions – their longest run since April-June 1993.

    It’s also their longest ever winless run going into a major tournament. (Opta)

  • Harry Kane reacts

    When speaking to Channel 4, the England skipper said:

    “It was a lot better. I thought we played really well today, we were unfortunate to go 2-0 behind, it was a mistake and then a great goal from the edge of the box.

    “We did really well to stay in the game, to get back into it, get into the lead and then unfortunately another error.

    “The mentality and fight of the team was shown out there today.

    “We didn’t get the win but we can be proud of what we did and it puts us in a good place ahead of the World Cup.

    “It was nice to score obviously. There always seems to be a few pressure penalties here at Wembley but it was nice to see that one go in and just a shame we couldn’t get the win but we keep going.

    “I am proud of the boys and now we have a busy six weeks or so before we get ready for the World Cup.”

    And, breathe…

    Six goals, 45 minutes.

    While all hope looked lost for England, the Three Lions fought back to draw the score level before Kane’s superb penalty fired them into a brief lead.

    Although Havertz struck again late in the game, it was certainly an improved performance from Gareth Southgate’s side.
