England delivered a disappointing send-off performance in front of their home fans ahead of Euro 2024 with a 1-0 defeat to Iceland.
The Icelanders are no longer the threat they were in 2016 when they knocked Roy Hodgson’s England out of the European Championships, but they nevertheless caused real problems at Wembley.
The only goal of a game in which England dominated possession but created precious little came in the 12th minute and exposed the defensive fragility Gareth Southgate hopes won’t be exposed in Germany this summer.
Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson cut in from the left, taking John Stones out of the occasion before hammering low, past a wrong-footed Aaron Ramsdale.
