England football

Jarrod Bowen is one of few positives as England suffer defeat to Hungary, a nation ranked 40th in the world; Trent Alexander-Arnold and James Justin ...

Combined well with Saka down the left as England looked to unlock the Hungary door. England struggled with Hungary's long diagonals throughout and the lapse in concentration epitomised Southgate's team as a whole. It seemed innocuous, even harsh, but the Chelsea full-back was penalised and booked for a foul inside the box on Nagy. A chance generated of his own making, but England had very little else to show from this abject display. When England looked to go through the middle, they were often caught on the ball, but the 18-year-old held his own. Led England out for the 46th time as captain, Kane often did much of his work outside of the box. Blocked a Loic Nego shot with his arm tight to his body in the second half. Eleven months out with an ACL injury, his England debut was cut short at the interval having felt a twinge in the opening period. Mature beyond his years, Bellingham's 12-game winning run for England was ended, but that record was partly due to Southgate turning to him during favourable matches. Was too straight and too slow in his pass to Jarrod Bowen which led to a quick turnover and an audacious effort from Adam Szalai with Pickford off his line. Rose to meet an Alexander-Arnold corner in the second half but was unable to direct his effort on target and his long diagonals were hit and miss. Showed his range of passing to switch play but quick ball was too rarely seen, and his tired corners were desperately over-hit.
