Maguire was sat on the floor as Yaremchuk offered to help him up.

The Manchester United centre-back moved his hand away as the pair exchanged words.

Yaremchuk tried again but as Maguire went to take the hand on offer, Yarmolenko stepped in.

He shoved Yaremchuk away as the striker shouted at Maguire over his shoulder.

The referee arrived but Yarmolenko side-stepped him and proceeded to give Maguire a verbal volley while he was still on the ground.

England were leading 1-0 at the time.

There were just seconds left in the first half but tensions were already bubbling away with Maguire’s gamesmanship infuriating the Ukrainian pair.

Harry Kane had put the Three Lions 1-0 up after just four minutes.

And just a minute after the break, Maguire leaped like a salmon to thunder a header home.

Kane doubled his tally with another header on 50 minutes.

And Jordan Henderson completed the aerial hat-trick when he headed his first ever England goal on 63 minutes and celebrated wildly afterwards.
