4. England were wasteful and tired
On the half an hour mark, Kane was put through by Lingard and looked a dead cert to score: not once, but twice. First, he missed a one-on-one with Danijel Subasic and then, somehow, with the goal gaping, he struck his shot against the post from a yard out. Admittedly, it was a tight angle, but with six goals already under his belt in this tournament, the whole of England expected their captain to deliver. Shortly afterwards, Lingard was then presented with his own glorious opportunity on the edge of the box but pushed his effort wide. The grimace on his face said it all.
It is easy to say with hindsight, but England finished this match with the look of a team who ran out of puff. It would have been a brave call by Southgate to change a winning team, a team which almost went 2-0 ahead before half-time, but in the second half it seemed clear that Dele Alli was stretched, that Ashley Young was being pulled this way and that, that Raheem Sterling’s influence was dwindling. Harry Kane could barely move in extra time and Kieran Trippier hobbled off.
