England didn’t get the start that they were expecting at Wembley against Italy, with the visitors opening the scoring inside the first quarter hour.
It was a comedy of errors for the Three Lions which manager Gareth Southgate surely won’t be happy about.
Declan Rice failed to cut out a simple cross-field pass and then his colleagues were far too flat-footed as Italy went for the jugular.
As the ball came across the box, Rice’s former West Ham team-mate, Gianluca Scamacca, was completely unmarked inside the six-yard box and couldn’t miss.
