Euro 2020

ENGLAND have beaten a stubborn Austria side in a match overshadowed by a potential injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold.The Liverpool right-back limped off in the closing stages, leaving England to see out the game with ten men.
But Jesse Lingard took his opportunity to give Gareth Southgate food for thought after the Three Lions boss refused to call him up to his squad.
The West Ham loanee threaded a brilliant ball through for Jack Grealish and in the resulting scramble, Bukayo Saka tapped into an empty net.
THAT’S ALL FOR TONIGHT
England cruise to victory in their first warm-up game ahead of Euro 2020.
Romania are up next on Sunday and the Riverside Stadium will host the game again.
It looked like Southgate’s men were going to get through tonight’s game unscathed.
But Alexander-Arnold picked up an injury clearing the ball and he needed assistance as he walked down the touchline. Not looking good!
Goodnight.

BUK OF THE NET
GARETH SOUTHGATE spent plenty of time praising Bukayo Saka’s ability to lift a struggling team when he named the Arsenal teenager in his Euros squad.
And the 19-year-old certainly rescued a shoddy England side in Middlesbrough on Wednesday night as he justified his selection for the tournament with his first international goal.
Saka has carried the poorest Gunners side in living memory throughout much of their miserable campaign – his maturity as well as his versatility earning him Southgate’s trust.
And the England boss needed Saka to save him for a morale-sapping result as a makeshift Three Lions side produced an error-strewn performance which saw Trent Alexander-Arnold hobble off through injury late on and could easily have ended in defeat.

ROAD TO WEMBLEY
Here’s England’s possible Path to the Euro 2020 final.
How England’s path to Euros glory could look
SOUTHGATE SPEAKS
Southgate spoke to ITV after the game and gave his thoughts on Alexander-Arnold’s injury: “We’re going to have a little look. It’s obviously not good to see him come off in the way he did.
“We’re just going to have to assess him in the next 24 hours. I think it’s a thigh injury, but the medical team are assessing him.
“We just have to see. It’s not a good sign to see him walk off as he did, but will know more in the next 24 or 48 hours.
“Let’s see how Trent is, and we’ll go from there. We don’t know the full extent.”
GREALISH ON ALEXANDER-ARNOLD
Grealish spoke to ITV after the game and he is hoping Alexander-Arnold is ok.
But admitted that it doesn’t look great.

FT: ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
England upped the tempo at the start of the second half and they got their reward in the 56th minute.
Kane found Lingard on the edge of Austria’s penalty area, and the Man Utd midfielder played a good first-time pass into Grealish.
Sabitzer managed to poke the ball away from England’s No10, but consequently into the path of Saka at the back post.
And the Arsenal youngster tapped home into an empty net.
Bad news for Southgate as Alexander-Arnold appears to have picked up an injury off the ball.
The Liverpool right-back cleared the ball up the pitch and he felt something go.
He needed help walking down the touchline and down the tunnel.
Injuries is something Southgate would have wanted to avoid heading into this summer’s tournament, but it’s struck at the wrong time.
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
THE FULL-TIME WHISTLE GOES AT THE RIVERSIDE STADIUM!
ENGLAND WIN!
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
90+1. OFF THE LINE!
Friedl delivers a wonderful ball into England’s penalty area from the right-hand side.
Pickford comes out to punch the ball clear, but the England keeper collides with Godfrey and the ball falls to Schaub.
The Austrian sends a shot on goal but White clears off the line!
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
90. The fourth official holds his board up and there will be three additional minutes played at the end of the second half.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
89. Alexander-Arnold cannot continue and he’s been taking off – it doesn’t look good. Injuries are what Southgate wants to avoid.
And it’s back luck considering all the rumours that have been circling this week about him potentially being left out of the squad.
He’s being assisted down the touchline, it really doesn’t look great for Alexander-Arnold.
England down to ten men.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
88. CLOSE!
A wonderful cross is whipped into the penalty area from out wide on the right-hand side.
Gregoritsch gets up well to meet the cross, but he heads the ball agonisingly wide of the far post! Has to do better there.
He was completely unmarked.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
87. YELLOW CARD!
Alexander-Arnold has been booked for not getting off the pitch, even though he hasn’t exactly done anything wrong.
A substitution hasn’t been made yet.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
85. YELLOW CARD!
Hinteregger is booked for his reaction towards the referee after a foul went against him.
Alexander-Arnold is also moving rather gingerly close to the touchline, it looks like he has picked up a knock of some kind.
Hopefully it’s just a knock, but he’s holding his left leg and he has asked not to continue.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
83. Austria will fancy their chances in the final few minutes of the game.
England has a couple of debutants on the pitch, and Austria have the chance to apply some pressure.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
81. We’re eating into the final ten minutes of the game, and England are comfortably in control of the game.
But all it takes is one chance and Austria could find themselves back on level terms.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
80. SAVE!
The ball breaks to Sabitzer 35 yards from goal, and the No9 gets a venomous strike off.
The ball swerves in the air almost wrong-footing Pickford, but the keeper manages to save!
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
78. England are just edging the game in the possession department, 52 per cent to Austria’s 48.
And the Three Lions have the all-important goal.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
76. CHANCE!
Saka plays a beautiful ball in behind Austria’s backline for Calvert-Lewin to run onto.
The forward gets to the byline and drills the ball across the face of goal hoping to find Watkins.
But the Villa striker wasn’t on the same page.
Watkins recovers the ball and plays the ball into the path of Ward-Prowse, who tees up White.
The debutant connects well with the ball but his effort goes just wide of the far post!
Bellingham in actionCredit: GETTY IMAGES
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
74. CLOSE!
The corner whizzes across the face of the goal and lucky avoided Friedl at the back post!
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
74. Friedl receives the ball off RB Leipzig’s Sabitzer.
And the No26 shifts the ball onto his right foot and gets a shot off, but his effort deflects behind for a corner.
Good chance for Austria to fashion a chance.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
72. Grealish is getting some treatment whilst he’s sat on the bench – it looks like he’s getting an icepack for his shin.
Hopefully it’s nothing too serious. Well, it can’t be considering he’s juts completed 70 minutes.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
70. SUBSTITUTION!
Another England debut, Ben White of Brighton comes on for Grealish and it looks like England are changing shape.
Southgate is changing to a back three, testing it out before Euro 2020. It’s good to be able to change your approach mid-game.
ENGLAND 1-0 AUSTRIA
69. Jack Grealish finds himself in some room down the left-hand side.
And the attacking midfielder sends a driven cross across the face of goal towards the back post.
But no-one was there to tap home.

TEN-MAN Wales have been soundly beaten by France after Neco Williams was harshly sent off.Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele were on target to secure a crushing win for the French.
However Danny Ward will have done his chances of obtaining the number one jersey for Euro 2020 no harm after pulling off a spectacular save from Karim Benzema’s penalty, following Williams’ handball.
Benzema, playing for France for the first time since 2015, pulled his penalty low to the left, but the Leicester goalkeeper was equal to it.
GOODNIGHT FROM NICE
That’s all from the French Riviera where Wales are the latest team to succumb to the world champions.
Rob Page’s warm-up plans were disrupted by an incredibly harsh red shown to Neco Williams in the first half, but there were still some positives for the Dragons ten days ahead of their Euro 2020 opener.
Despite conceding three, the performance of goalkeeper Danny Ward was excellent, the highlight of which was the save that kept out Karim Benzema’s penalty with the score at 0-0. The Leicester stopper has ramped up the pressure on regular number one, Wayne Hennessey.
It’s Albania next for Wales for another warm-up this Saturday, and then things gets serious: their first game is against the Swiss in Baku on June 12th.
PAGE’S WALES ROBBED
Rob Page was also critical of the decision to send off Neco Williams for deliberate handball. Wales’ interim head coach feels the dismissal ruined what was shaping up to be an intriguing content.
It’s very harsh. We’ve looked back at it at half-time, and the fourth official apologised to me which makes it a little worse. Any defender that jumps to clear the ball, his hands come up in a natural position like that, it’s impossible for him to do anything else. He’s not done it intentionally, and that changes the course of the game and absolutely spoils it.Rob Page
BLANK AND BLEUS
While it’s been a difficult night for the Welsh with ten men, world champions France have been busy setting themselves up nicely for another international tournament.
Didier Deschamps’ team have now won three on the bounce without conceding a goal.
3 – French national team have kept three clean sheets in a row (2-0 in Kazakhstan, 1-0 in Bosnia, 3-0 against Wales) for the first time since August-October 2017, equalling their best such run under Didier Deschamps. Serenity. #FRAWAL pic.twitter.com/yxFmKMEnk9— OptaJean (@OptaJean) June 2, 2021

DAN’S THE MAN
Forward Daniel James paid tribute to goalkeeper Danny Ward for his display in Nice, but only after blasting referee Luis Godinho for his decision to award France a first half penalty and send off Neco Williams.
I’m not one to talk about referees, but it’s a friendly game and he’s taken ten minutes to look at the incident, and then decided that it’s clear and obvious. I don’t know how it can be, [Benzema’s] two yards out. I’m not even sure it’s a penalty because we’ve been told that if he’s in a natural position and he can’t do anything about it, then it’s not even a penalty. It wasn’t on purpose, even their players were asking not to send him off.
[Danny Ward] was absolutely fantastic. I know we conceded three goals, but I thought he was the best player on the pitch. He made some unbelievable saves, and kept four or five out. If it wasn’t for him, it would have been even more.Daniel James
COLWILL POWER
One other positive for Rob Page to take from tonight is the introduction of 19-year-old Rubin Colwill for his international bow.
Hopefully, the Cardiff midfielder has a long career for his country ahead of him.

FT: FRANCE 3-0 WALES
France prevail at the Allianz Riviera with a comfortable three-goal win over Wales courtesy of strikes from Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele. Despite losing Neco Williams to a preposterous red card in the first half, there were plenty of positives for Rob Page to take, not least the performance of goalkeeper Danny Ward, who saved a Karim Benzema penalty.
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!THE ACTION COMES TO A CLOSE IN NICE!
FRANCE 3-0 WALES
90+2. “Welcome to the Championship, son.”
Kieffer Moore gives Jules Kounde the traditional Cardiff City welcome by flailing his arms into the face of the youngster as he attempted to break free on the far touchline.
FRANCE 3-0 WALES
90. There will be two minutes of stoppage time, according to the fourth official.
FRANCE 3-0 WALES
89. I think Rob Page knew his starting 11 against Switzerland next week, all being well, but the performance of Danny Ward in goal this evening must surely have him in contention to be first-choice ahead of Wayne Hennessey.
FRANCE 3-0 WALES
86. Benzema must have avoided these multiple substitutions in order to get his goal, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.
His latest attempt is a crisp curler a yard high and wide of the far post.

FRANCE 3-0 WALES
84. Monaco’s Wissam Ben Yedder is thrown into the mix as France’s latest substitute. He’s on for Antoine Griezmann.
FRANCE 3-0 WALES
83. Benzema denied again!
Ward produces another excellent save to keep out the striker’s header from a corner, and then the Welsh win a free-kick in the clamour for the loose ball.
FRANCE 3-0 WALES
82. The game has long been up for Wales, but here’s a moment to treasure for young Rubin Colwill.
The 19-year-old is on for his international debut in place of Joe Morrell.
FRANCE 3-0 WALES
79. What does Karim Benzema need to do to score on his return to the national team?
Having had a first half penalty brilliantly saved, he is now denied by the woodwork after doing everything right.
The striker chests down Jules Kounde’s pull-back to take himself away from Joe Rodon, and then unleashes a thumping shot on the turn.
It looks destined for the bottom corner, but thumps the inside of the post and rebounds out to Ousmane Dembele, who converts first time into the empty net.

GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!!OUSMANE DEMBELE MAKES IT THREE!!
FRANCE 2-0 WALES
76. Brooks goes for the dink over the wall, but only succeeds in striking it.
The changes goes.
FRANCE 2-0 WALES
75. Ramsey earns Wales a free-kick with a bursting run, and – for his involvement – Varane earns himself a yellow card.
This is a promising position for the visitors with which to test Lloris.
FRANCE 2-0 WALES
73. Kylian Mbappe’s night is over. The young superstar is replaced by Ousmane Dembele.
It’s been refreshing to see the PSG forward in action without Neymar attempting to get all of the attention.
FRANCE 2-0 WALES
72. Dan James’ pace on the counter to continues to trouble the host, but that conundrum may have just been dealt with.
The forward is off for David Brooks, moments after a promising move ends with Morrell’s hopelessly overhit cross.
FRANCE 2-0 WALES
70. France threaten, first with the pace of Conan on the right, and then with the skill of Mbappe on the right.
Eventually, Benzema takes charge and strikes at goal with a shot that’s deflected wide for a corner.
FRANCE 2-0 WALES
68. Morrell does more donkey work in midfield, again to excellent effect.
FRANCE 2-0 WALES
66. Wales’ best moment of the night.
Ramsey slips James in on goal from the right with a beauty of a pass, presenting him with the time and space to strike across Lloris.
The Manchester United man does everything right, but the France goalkeeper is equal to it, pushing the ball out and away from Moore following up.

FRANCE 2-0 WALES
64. Two more subs for the French.
Here come Kingsley Coman and Mousa Sissoko, it’s au revoir to Paul Pogba and Corentin Tolisso.
FRANCE 2-0 WALES
63. An early indication for Davies as to the size of the task Wales are facing.
The defender loses his man at a corner but fortunately wins a free-kick in his tussle with Kimpembe.

SCOTLAND have been denied a brilliant win against Holland thanks to an equaliser from Memphis Depay.Despite being depleted by coronavirus, Steve Clarke’s men have given a great account of themselves against the Netherlands.
Jack Henry gave the Tartan Army the lead with an early low drive.
But the advantage was short lived as Memphis Depay levelled things for the Dutch.
Kevin Nisbet then popped up to put the Scots in front again in Faro but Barcelona target Depay had the last word in the 90th minute.

CLARKE REVIEW
Steve Clarke was diappointed with the refereeing performance as it robbed his side of a good win.
But he was delighted with the way his side played.
It was a good performance and we are disappointed not to win.I’m not one to talk about referees as I’ve been in trouble a lot for that recently!The decision to award a free kick at the end was embarrassing.A draw is a good result but a win would have been better. It’s not about the result but the performance.It could have been a great result but the referee decided that wouldn’t be the case.Good stuff from David (Turnbull) and he can be pleased with his performance.We got the press right, sometimes. And when we did we looked a good team.It was nice for Kevin to get that goal and it’ll be a proud moment for him.Steve ClarkeSky Sports
MOVING ON…
We move on now to Luxembourg on Sunday for the final preparation game before the Euros.
The feel-good factor remains, let’s hope it kicks on again then!
JACK BUZZ
Jack Hendry says there were plenty of positives to take from tonight.
He was pleased to notch his first goal for Scotland too.
I thought the boys were brilliant tonight and we were two minutes away from a great result.The gameplan was to step up and win the ball high up which I did and it fell for me and I hit it and thankfully it went in.There are loads of positives to take from that.Jack HendrySky Sports
MAN-BYS
Here, our man Andy Devlin runs the rule over Steve Clarke’s men.
This is Andy’s thoughts on the players that were involved.
CRAIG GORDON: In for his second Scotland start in succession. Impossible to say whether he’ll get the nod against the Czechs, but the Hearts star did his chances no harm at all with a stunning late save to deny van Aanholt…7.
JACK HENDRY: Fired Scotland in front with a sweet strike from the edge of the box. The centre back came out of nowhere to bag his first international goal. Towering performance from the defender….8.
Jack Hendry strikes the opener
LIAM COOPER: Provided tremendous cover after Denzil Dumfries had got the wrong side of Andy Robertson. Read the danger superbly and linked really well with Hendry. Replaced by Gallagher on the hour mark….7.
KIERAN TIERNEY: Blasted wide in the opening minutes and was Scotland’s best attacking outlet on the night. Dove-tailed brilliantly with Robertson on the left-hand side, making a series of surging runs deep into Dutch territory…8.
JAMES FORREST: With Nathan Patterson and Stephen O’Donnell left behind at Scotland’s Spanish training camp, the Celtic star was deployed at right wing-back. Given his injury problems this season it’s not surprising he looked off the pace…6.
STUART ARMSTRONG: Given a rare start in the absence of John McGinn and while he played his part in Scotland’s opener the Southampton man didn’t do enough to make a case for a start against the Czech Republic…6.
Stuart Armstrong
DAVID TURNBULL: The Celtic midfielder was handed his Scotland debut. It proved a real baptism of fire, allowing Memphis Depay to run off him as Holland drew level. Guilty of trying to force the final pass…6. 
CALLUM McGREGOR: Spent most of the night chasing shadows in the middle of the park. Like his team-mates, he couldn’t keep possession of the ball long enough to influence anything in Holland’s final third…6. 
ANDY ROBERTSON: Despite being deployed in the more advanced role, the Scotland skipper found himself covering Tierney’s rampaging runs. But it was his outstanding cross which picked out Nisbet….7. 
Skipper Andy Robertson
RYAN CHRISTIE: Showed desire and determination in the press which brought about Hendry’s quick-fire opener for the Scots. Guilty of giving the ball away too cheaply, but definitely improved as the match wore on…6. 
LYNDON DYKES: Difficult night for the line Scots striker. Got one sniff of the Dutch goal and he probably should have scored. Blasted straight at Tim Krul when he had to keep the ball low. Replaced by Nisbet…6.
Subs:
KEVIN NISBET: What an impact. The super sub scored with his first touch, just a minute after replacing Dykes. It was a brilliant finish and what a way to score your first international goal….6.
DECLAN GALLAGHER: Won two or three crunching tackles….5.
RYAN FRASER: Provided Scotland with a decent out-ball after coming on…4
SCOTT McKENNA: Put himself about..2
GREG TAYLOR: Replaced Andy Robertson and slotted into left-back for the closing 20 minutes…3.
BILLY GILMOUR: Capped a week to remember as he made it on for his Scotland debut..2.
MOUR OF THE SAME
And in a night of firsts, it’s hard to forget it was this kid’s first cap tonight.
Going to put my neck on the line here and say it won’t be his last.

David Turnbull was delighted to get his first Scotland cap and felt his side were hard done by in the end.

FIRST GOAL FOR SCOTLAND – HENDRY
In case you missed it, here was the Jack Hendry goal that had Scotland in front early.

FT: NETHERLANDS 2-2 SCOTLAND
Despite missing seven of the squad, it was a very good Scotland performance.
Goals from Jack Hendry and Kevin Nisbet had Scotland twice in front.
Memphis Depay twice equalised for the Dutch.
The second a shocker of a decision from a referee who had a poor night.
But Steve Clarke won’t mind – this was the ideal preparation.
