It was to the right of the goal.“There are kids in the stands with family so we always have to check on them, reassure them and ask if they’re all right.“It wasn’t nice.

Asked the touchline what the Denmark score was during one break in the second half.Kieran Trippier – 6The one positive of having a right-footed player playing left-back is that he can dispatch in-swinging crosses, and one such one should have been headed home by Conor Gallagher before the break.Marc Guehi – 7Cruyff turn early doors showed his confidence from excellent displays against Serbia and Denmark, and barring one loose pass was good again.John Stones – 6One of many to miss his target with his passing. He wasn’t bad but, like others, way off what he has produced for his club.Kyle Walker – 5Played so safe, rarely looked to get forward. Was lucky at one point that Pickford was alive to his blast of a pass-back. Sliced cross after break summed up his off-night.Conor Gallagher – 4Got the nod after the Trent Alexander-Arnold midfield experiment ended, but was poor, particularly, in possession and replaced at half-time by Kobbie Mainoo.Declan Rice – 7Had promised an “in your face” performance from his team, but he was really the only one to produce it. Very good out of possession, much better than against Denmark.Phil Foden – 7Liveliest of England’s attacking four by a mile and went close with a stinging free-kick. Booked for dissent, summing up England’s frustration.Jude Bellingham – 5Cut a very frustrated figure as he and Harry Kane got in each other’s way at times, while he was often shunted wide left as Phil Foden moved into the middle.Bukayo Saka – 6Tapped home on 20 minutes, but it was ruled out for offside in the build-up. OK but once again subbed after the break, perhaps due to fitness concerns.Harry Kane – 6Insists he is 100 per cent fit and maybe he is. What is 100 per cent certain is that he has been nowhere near as effective in this tournament as he usually is for England, albeit he was marginally better here.SubstitutesKobbie Mainoo (for Gallagher at half-time) – 7Made a difference when coming on, making England much more positive in their play. So much more confident with his touch than Gallagher.Cole Palmer (for Bukayo Saka on 71) – 7Finally made an appearance at this tournament and one clever ball through for Mainoo showed what he can do.Trent Alexander-Arnold (for Kieran Trippier on 84) – 6Came on for the final few minutes at right-back, with Walker going to left-back.Anthony Gordon (for Phil Foden on 88) – 6Like Palmer, first minutes at the Euros, but too late to make an impact.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSJarod Bowen’s former Love Island star girlfriend Dani Dyer and John Stones’ partner Olivia Naylor were snapped in the crowd.As was Ellie Alderson, Ollie Watkins’ girlfriend, who shared a kiss with the striker after the game.Stunning England wags watch on as England face Denmark at Euro 2024England fans turned on Southgate after the dismal draws with Denmark and Slovenia.But the Three Lions still topped Group C and face a last-16 showdown with Slovakia on Sunday.Aston Villa star Konsa, an unused sub in all three games, added: “We know we can play better. Certain performances haven’t been our best level.“But we always try and give it our best. We’re not going out to try and play badly on purpose.“We’re ready for Sunday now. Our main focus is to get the win and that’s it.”Marc Guehi backed Southgate and says the under-fire boss has the full support of the squad. There are kids in the stands with family so we always have to check on them, reassure them and ask if they’re all right. It wasn’t nice. But there’s a lot of players who have experienced it before at club level.Ezri KonsaThe Crystal Palace centre-back said: “He has been fantastic for England. If you look at his record, it speaks for itself.“Everyone is behind the manager and we have a close tight-knit group, just focused on the next game.“Everyone appreciates him. He’s showed so much confidence in me.”Trent Alexander-Arnold, meanwhile, believes that England can still become Kings of Europe.Should the Three Lions beat the Slovaks in Gelsenkirchen, they will avoid big guns Portugal, Spain, France and hosts Germany until a possible July 14 final in Berlin.
