KYLE WALKER was given a brutal 3/10 rating by French outlet L’Equipe following England’s narrow 2-1 win over Slovakia on Sunday.
The Three Lions just about managed to book a spot in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals thanks to late goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
Ivan Schranz fired Slovakia into an unprecedented 1-0 lead in the first half.
England were 30 seconds from crashing out of the tournament when Bellingham scored an injury-time bicycle kick to level the score.

Meanwhile, Walker – who appeared to be out of position when Slovakia scored in the first half – was given a three.
It was his second 3/10 in less than week as he received the same rating for his performance during England’s bore 0-0 draw with Slovenia.
Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Marc Guehi and Jordan Pickford all received fives, while Kieran Trippier and John Stones were given a four.
And manager Gareth Southgate, despite England’s poor performance overall, was handed a six.
